Brandt Information Services named Best & Brightest Company to Work For for Fourth Consecutive Year

/in ,

Brandt Information Services has been selected for the fourth consecutive year as one of the 2019 Best & Brightest Companies to Work for in the Nation. Brandt has been recognized as providing winning company culture and benefits to its employees.

The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® program recognizes the most influential, trend-setting companies across the country. The program is operated by the National Association of Business Resources (NABR) and presented to companies that incorporate best practices in the workplace and promote employee involvement, enriching the lives of their employees.

All participating companies completed a two-part assessment conducted by NABR, which included a Company Survey Questionnaire about Brandt’s current company culture and benefits. Employees were then surveyed by a third-party research firm where they were anonymously and confidentially able to rate their satisfaction, voice their opinions, and how they enjoy working for the company.

“The Best & Brightest program gets more competitive each year, and we are honored and humbled to earn this award again,” says John Thomas, CEO of Brandt. “The employee survey process gives us great insight into how well our corporate culture is being perceived and helps us continue to make this not just a great place to work, but a place to call home. This award is dedicated to each and every one of our employees. They are why we are so successful in serving our state partners.”

Spanning 372 acres, Evans County PFA offers 3 lakes to fish from, boat ramps, trails, picnic tables, archery ranges, and most recently, a collection of new full-facility campsites and an event center.

The campground consists of 22 campsites, all containing electricity, water, a picnic table and a fire ring. Of the 22 sites, there are eight tent-only sites and 14 full-size RV/tent sites, five of which are premium sites offering full sewer service and pull-through parking pads. Additionally, there is a community restroom and shower facility available. The daily cost for reserving these sites ranges from $20 – $35. *You will need to have a license to be on property and can easily take care of that at gooutdoorsgeorgia.com.*

On October 3, The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) celebrated an exciting ribbon-cutting ceremony to launch the new campground and event center at the Evans County PFA. Utilizing outdoors technology solutions, they have launched a new online reservation system, making it easy and convenient for visitors to access real-time updates on campsite availability, scout out and virtually tour each campground location (with aerial and street views), store payment information for quicker booking, and find suggested activities for the location to enhance their outdoor experience.

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new campground and event center. We are looking forward to customers using the new online reservation system and we think they will be very pleased with the ease of finding and booking a campsite for their stay, whether it be through their computer, tablet or smartphone”, said Michael Spencer, Supervisor of the Licensing and Boat Registration Unit for GAWRD.

Brandt Welcomes Tally Job Hop Tours

/in

Brandt participated in the Tally Job Hop Tech Edition 2019. The Tally Job Hop is a one day tour for students to visit some of North Florida’s top businesses who are looking for interns and employees from our local universities.  At each stop, students learn about a company’s corporate culture, what type of projects they are working on, and most importantly, what types of internships and jobs are available.

Brandt hosted two groups of students majoring in the fields of computer science, information technology, and marketing.  Each group was given a tour of the office and then gathered for a presentation about Brandt’s solutions and team positions.  We facilitated a panel of recent college graduates to discuss entering the workforce, company culture, and career advice. Brandt’s team attended the evening reception to continue to speak with Job Hop attendees and answer questions.

Thank you to Tally Job Hop for coordinating a wonderful event.

Iowa DNR’s New Online Hunting & Fishing Licensing System is Now Live & Making it Effortless to Get Outdoors

/in

As Iowa’s hunters, anglers and bird watchers go to purchase their licenses and permits or register their recreational vehicles, users will be greeted with a new, streamlined, easy to use and convenient online licensing and registration system. The system launched earlier this year in February and is making it easier than ever to purchase licenses, apply for quota hunts, report harvests, and so much more.

“The goal of this new online licensing system for Iowa is to better serve its customers, increase Department revenues and engage new customers in outdoor participation,” says, Richard Wise, President of Brandt. “We are not only fulfilling these goals, but rolling out other innovative and convenient ways to get their residents and visitors outdoors, doing what they love.”

In addition to the web-based online licensing platform, users also have the ability to purchase and access their hunting and fishing licenses by downloading the new Go Outdoors Iowa mobile app right from the Itunes App Store or Google Play Store. The app allows users to have the licensing system conveniently right in their pockets, accessible anywhere, anytime. Customers can access their licenses/permits, view hunting or fishing regulations, view current sunset/sunrise times, and report harvests.

For those who prefer a tangible license rather than electronic versions, customers can now also upgrade to a durable, stylish hard card license or registration that can withstand the harsh outdoor conditions. These collectible cards are printed with artwork created by a local Iowa artist, Bruce Gordon, and feature large mouth bass or pheasant designs.
