PINELLAS PARK, Fla.—For the fourth year in a row, Transitions Optical is being honored with the Gallup Great Workplace Award, a distinction that celebrates the best-performing workforces in the world in terms of employee engagement and productivity. The award will be presented during the 2013 Gallup Great Workplace Summit, held May 7 to 9 in Omaha, Neb.

The 2013 Gallup Great Workplace Award winners were determined by a panel of workplace experts, who evaluated thousands of applicants based on exhaustive workplace research.

Transitions Optical is one of only 32 organizations to receive a Gallup Great Workplace Award for 2013.
