Each year, the Birmingham Business Journal surveys employees at hundreds of companies in the Birmingham area to identify the Best Places to Work. Companies are divided into four categories, based on the number of employees they have: Small (10-24 employees), Mid-Size (25-99 employees), Large (100-249 employees), and Extra-Large (250 employees and up). Employee responses from a predetermined survey, along with the number of employees who respond to the survey, are calculated to determine the company’s overall score and ranking.
OHD is proud to be named one of these best places to work in Birmingham. The company came in first place in the category of "Best Places To Work For Young Professionals"! The company also earned an overall ranking of seventh place in the "Medium" size company category. These rankings were highlighted in the 2022 edition of the “Best Places to Work” contest sponsored by the Birmingham Business Journal. 
OHD prides itself on caring for not only its customers, but its employees. OHD's President Luke Allen stated that "It is a great honor to be recognized with these two exceptional awards, and they are testaments of our excellent team members. We work together to drive innovation, serve our customers, care for each other and this is all support of our mission to protect the health of the world’s workforce. It is an absolute privilege to be associated with this great team on a daily basis!"
The Best Places to Work contest was created by the Birmingham Business Journal in 2005 to recognize employers in the Birmingham area who have gone above and beyond to create outstanding workplace environments. OHD is honored to have been a part of these nominations this year and previous years.
