Rockville, MD, June 17, 2008/PRNewswire/ -- Aronson & Company (A&C), a nationally ranked top 50 accounting and consulting firm based in Rockville, MD, was recognized by the Washington Business Journal as one of the Washington, D.C. Metro area’s Best Places to Work for the second year in a row, a rare achievement. A&C was honored in the Large (local) category. The award recognizes the company’s achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.
“The generational demands of a changing workforce are compelling companies to rethink their approach to issues such as technology and job satisfaction,” remarked Lisa J. Cines, CPA, A&C’s Managing Officer. “Paying a competitive wage isn’t enough; you have to find ways to improve work/life balance and encourage self-determination. This is what we, as a company, have tried to do and I believe that this award tells us we are achieving our goals.”
Along with sponsors Littler Mendelson, Reznick Group and Quantum Market Research, the Washington Business Journal presented the results of quantitative employee surveys at their annual breakfast awards on June 13, 2008 at the Hilton McLean. The top companies were also profiled in a special supplement in the June 13th edition of the Washington Business Journal. The honorees were selected from a pool of more than 300 nominations, and A&C was announced as a top ten winner.
A&C’s Director of Human Resources, Dawn Bailey, commented, “We have worked very hard to ensure that our staff gets great satisfaction out of their career. By creating a work environment that fosters success through self-determination and flexibility, Aronson & Company has built a great reputation among prospective job seekers and we feel honored that the Washington Business Journal has recognized our efforts two years in a row, which is very unusual.”
