Anchin Named a 2009 "Best Company to Work For"
NEW YORK – Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP has been named one of the Best Companies to work for in New York for 2009. The New York State Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) and Best Companies Group, an independent company managing Best Places to Work programs in many states around the country, formed a partnership to launch this program in 2007. Anchin has been recognized as a Best Place to Work since the program launched in New York State.
The Best Companies to Work For program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places to work in the state. The list is made up of 40 companies split into two groups: 20 medium companies (25 to 250 employees) and 20 large companies (251 or more employees).
Anchin was recognized in the large company category and is in excellent company. Other large companies recognized in this year’s competition included a number of financial, educational, and not-for-profit organizations.
To be considered for this honor, Anchin was evaluated in a number of areas, including workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 per cent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience which was worth 75% of the total evaluation.
“This honor is not the result of luck or coincidence,” says Anchin Managing Partner Frank Schettino. “The honor is the result of dedicated efforts identified in the Firm’s Strategic Plan several years ago and the creation of several key programs. These programs include the development of core competencies, an improved mentoring program, an expanded recruiting program, an improved orientation for new hires, an expanding coaching program, the establishment of the Care Committee, and a wide range of green initiatives. We are extremely proud of our work environment and will do all we can to remain a best place to work.” |
