SHRM and GPTW Host Awards Ceremony in New Orleans
Columbus, OH – The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) together with The Great Places to Work Institute, Inc. (GPTW) named Navigator Management Partners one of the “50 Best Small & Medium Companies to Work for in America” in 2009.The list was announced on June 29 in New Orleans before thousands of human resource professionals attending SHRM’s 61st Annual Conference & Exposition.
The list, now in its sixth year, ranks the top 25 small and top 25 medium-sized companies using “best practice” people management strategies to develop successful organizations with highly productive and satisfied workforces. Organizations range in size from 50 to 999 employees and the GPTW selects the winners based on a randomly distributed employee opinion survey. Each company evaluated was given a score based on employees' responses to a detailed questionnaire about the organizations' workplace cultures.
"We ask our employees to pursue remarkably high standards of performance on their consulting engagements. Part of our strategy to recruit and retain those able to deliver to these standards is to offer a truly great employment experience,” said company CEO David Schoettmer. “We are happy to have achieved this recognition from SHRM / GPTW and even happier about the caliber of our workforce."
"Small and medium-sized companies make up the majority of the American economy and workforce," said SHRM President and CEO Laurence O’Neil. "These 50 winning organizations demonstrate that investing in people is critical to their success, and we are proud to recognize their accomplishments."
"These companies stand out because their employees find them to be places where they can trust the management, take pride in their work and have fun. Other companies have much to learn about how to be productive and do right by their people," said GPTW Co-founder Robert Levering.
Articles and profiles of the winners will appear in the June issue of Fortune Small Business, in the July issue of HR Magazine, and on CNNMoney.com. The winning organizations will also be listed on the SHRM (www.shrm.org) and GPTW (www.greatplacetowork.com) Web sites.
