There are moments in business that make you pause, take a breath, and think, Yes. This is why we do it.
INM being named one of the Dallas Business Journal’s Top 100 Companies for Workplace Excellence was one of those moments. Earning the #17 spot among Micro Companies made it even sweeter.
If you’re not familiar with the Dallas Business Journal, they’re a trusted voice in regional business leadership and a major source of business insights across DFW. Their Workplace Excellence Awards highlight companies that put people first. So when they say your culture stands out, it carries weight.
The award recognizes companies where employees feel supported, connected, and proud of the work they do. In a market as large and competitive as Dallas Fort Worth, being recognized as a top workplace is a meaningful moment for any organization, especially a growing small company like ours.
We went to the awards event ready to celebrate, and it didn’t disappoint. We connected with fellow winners, swapped stories, and enjoyed being surrounded by companies who care deeply about their people. And yes, we had a blast at the Frisco RoughRiders stadium. Sometimes celebrating excellence feels even better when it happens in a ballpark.
But here is what made this award truly special for us.
It is our first local award. Our first recognition inside the community we serve. And for a small company like INM, landing at #17 among Micro Companies in DFW is something we are incredibly proud of.
Our culture has always been our foundation. It is not a program or an initiative. It is how we show up, how we support each other, and how we serve our clients with care, clarity, and intention. Being a small team means we operate more like a family, and that sense of closeness shapes every experience we create.
Winning this award does not change who we are. It reflects who we have been becoming all along.
To us, it is more than an award.
It is proof that when people love where they work and who they work with, everything else falls into place and success follows.
The kind of win that reminds us why we love what we do.
