Ranked 34th Best in the United States

Durham, N.C., Feb. 13, 2008 – BÖWE BELL + HOWELL, a leading provider of document processing and postal solutions, has been ranked by Training magazine as being among the nation's top 125 companies for employer-sponsored training and development. This year's placement of 34th marks BÖWE BELL + HOWELL's sixth appearance on the prestigious list and an improvement of 11 positions from its 2007 ranking. Training magazine sponsors the review and hosts an annual ceremony recognizing the award recipients.

Each Training Top 125 company was measured on quantitative and qualitative data. Influencing factors included training tied to business objectives, number of trainers, employee turnover and retention, leadership development, tuition assistance and corporate university programs. An outside research and statistical data company scored the applications, which were then subjectively reviewed by Training magazine editors.

"This award is not about the dollars we invest in training, though for a company of our size, the investment is considerable," said Cary Disney, manager of training for BÖWE BELL + HOWELL. "It's really about the programs and how we establish a link between the training we offer and the performance measurement results that impact the bottom line."

The company's BBH University program provides technical, business, leadership and management skills training, and professional and career development for more than 2,000 associates in North America. In addition, BBH University also trains customers to run sophisticated BBH equipment and software. "We partner with customers to create training and certification programs," said Disney. "It was great to see so many of our clients included with us on the Top 125, and we are proud of the fact that BBH University was an important contributor to their success."
