This achievement recognises the innovative and entrepreneurial culture that NI employees worldwide have cultivated throughout the global measurement and automation company's 26-year history.
"The dedication, energy, and talent of the more than 3000 NI employees worldwide create a work environment that is rewarding and fun while directly impacting the success of our customers and company", said Dr James Truchard, NI President, CEO and cofounder.
"By working together toward long-term growth and continually creating new products and technologies that expand the boundaries of virtual instrumentation, our employees are improving everyday life for their families, communities and customers".
NI has revolutionised the industry since its inception - from pioneering virtual instrumentation with LabView graphical programming to creating an award-winning culture focused on long-term employee success.
These achievements stem from Truchard's leadership and a 100-year plan that holds customer success, innovation and long-term vision at its core.
Based on key principles, the plan empowers employees to balance entrepreneurial spirit with pragmatism and continuous improvement with breakthrough innovation.
Signifying its strong commitment to growth and innovation, NI recently opened the Truchard Design Centre.
This new building at the company's Austin, Texas, headquarters brought all Austin employees to a combined campus where they can more easily share new approaches to measurement and automation as well as share in the fun - including volleyball and basketball games, deck parties, costume contests and the annual employee appreciation week held at NI headquarters.
"While other companies have had to make tough decisions, NI has continued to invest in the future of the company - our employees, technology and customers.
In fact, in 2002 we added new employees worldwide and increased our investment in R and D", said Mark Finger, NI Vice President of Human Resources.
"While this was a challenging year by all measures, these investments position NI and our employees well for future success". Request free introductory details about products from National Instruments ...
