2012 “Best Companies to Work For in New York State” Announced
New York (December 21, 2011) – 50 companies have recently been designated the Best Companies to Work for in New York State. This fifth annual survey and awards program identifies and recognizes the best places of employment in the State of New York. These organizations are examples that happy employees make for good business and drive the Empire state’s economy.
Created in 2007, this program has quickly become a prestigious honor for winners. A company’s participation often leads to valuable and unique long-term benefits for its corporate climate and for its employee recruitment efforts.
The 2012 list of the Best Companies to Work for in New York State is made up of 50 organizations split into two groups: 26 small/medium-sized employers with 15-249 employees in the United States and 24 large- sized companies of 250 or more U.S. employees. [An alphabetical listing of the winners follows at the end
of this press release.]
Employers from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the best employers in the Empire State. To be considered for the program, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least one facility and fifteen employees in the state of New York;
- Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity;
- Be a publicly- or privately-held business;
- Be in business for a minimum of one year; and
- Register to participate.
A survey was then conducted by Best Companies Group, an independent firm that manages Best Places to Work programs on state, regional and national levels around the world. They evaluated and ranked the best places of employment in the State based on employee satisfaction and engagement, as well as workplace practices and policies.
All 50 winning companies will be honored at an awards dinner on Thursday, April 26, 2012, at the Albany Marriott. During the event, each company’s unique employment perks will be shared and the rankings of the winners will be revealed. The event is open to the public; seats can be reserved by contacting Colleen Jones, event coordinator with Journal Publications Inc., at (717) 236-4300 or colleenj@journalpub.com.
A special publication highlighting the 50 Best Companies to Work for in New York State will also be produced for distribution to the event attendees and members of the New York State Society for Human Resource Management (NYS-SHRM), as well as universities and colleges statewide.
The Best Companies to Work for in New York State program is a partnership between the NYS-SHRM, The
Business Council of New York and Best Companies Group. The 2012 event is sponsored by Jackson
Lewis, LLP.
