NI among the World's Top 10 Best Multinational Workplaces

Dr James Truchard, CEO, President and Cofounder of National Instruments, says: "NI's long-term management approach, known as the 100-year plan, recognises that our employee contributions directly impact our key stakeholders' success and are critical to NI's overall growth, creating a great work environment and developing rewarding careers for our employees."

FORTUNE has named NI among the nation's "100 Best Companies to Work For" for the past 14 years and the Great Place to Work Institute has recognised NI branches including China, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico and the UK.

NI employees make products that accelerate productivity, innovation and discovery for engineers and scientists solving the world's grand challenges. Because of NI employees' work building the tools of scientific discovery, customers are working to break the world land speed record, monitor smart grids more efficiently and launch rockets into space.

Mark Finger, Vice President of Human Resources at National Instruments, notes: "Our employees are our greatest competitive differentiator. Repeatedly receiving this type of recognition both globally and nationally reinforces our commitment to creating meaningful jobs and careers for our employees."

As NI has grown to over 7000 employees in almost 50 countries, the company's culture has spread beyond Austin headquarters to each of the branch offices. NI invests in its people and is committed to being a stable employer despite trying economic times.
