The 2020 Best Companies to Work for in Texas list is made up of 100 com- panies. Funeral Directors Life has been named one of the Best Companies to Work for in Texas.  “It is a great honor to be recognized by the Best Companies Group as one of the top 100 Best Com- panies to Work for in Tex- as,” said Kris Seale, Funer- al Directors Life president and CEO. “As a team, we strive to create a work- place that encourages lead- ers to grow, develops a sense of community, of- fers outstanding training and learning opportuni- ties, and provides state-of- the art facilities, including a wellness clinic and 24- hour fitness center. Above all, we have a sense of pur- pose and mission every day when we come to work. I am very proud of our team and what we have accom- plished this year, including this recognition by Texas Monthly and Best Compa- nies Group.” Companies from across the state entered the two- part survey process to de- termine the Best Companies to Work for in Texas. The first part consisted of evaluating each nom- inated com- pany’s workplace policies, systems, philosophies, prac- tices, and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total eval- uation.
