Organic Growth in the Local Job Market
SCHAUMBURG, IL January 18, 2011 – Is the outlook on the job market improving? It certainly seems that way for one Schaumburg, Illinois-based company that has grown at an astounding pace this past year. SPINS, Inc, an information and services provider for the Natural, Organic and Specialty Products Industry, added a healthy 22 professional jobs to its ledger in 2010, boosting its workforce by 43% since last December.
For the past fifteen years, the company has set out to 'grow the Natural, Organic and Specialty Products Industry' by providing resources to both prominent and underserved retailers who are committed to the growth of these products. SPINS also works to help manufacturers understand and enhance their business, and ultimately, to expand consumer choices when it comes to what they put in their bodies.
This type of work is no small undertaking, particularly given the swell in the natural products market as consumer interest in healthier lifestyles increases.
As the industry advances, SPINS continues to make significant investments to propel its development, namely in terms of recruiting talented people in the community to its technology, content development, sales, consulting and retailer support teams.
In strengthening its foundation, SPINS is a prime example of a sustainable company that is not only heeding the call for small businesses to invest in people and technology, but also one that has an enduring commitment to positively impacting the marketplace and consumer standards. "The social actions and local commitment of corporations are often a less-acknowledged aspect of sustainability in the headlines today. Doing social good - in the workplace and beyond - plays an integral role in upholding our well-being," says Tony Olson, CEO and President of SPINS and long-time resident of the Schaumburg community.
"At the core of our work lies a passion for social and environmental causes and a need to create a culture of health and wellness sustainability. SPINS works closely with its partners so that in coming years, all communities will have access to healthy food and are educated on and aware of the choices available to them; so that when consumers make product purchases, they do so with an understanding of the effect it will have on their lives and the lives of others."
