FALLS CHURCH, VA – June 29, 2009 – Noblis has been recognized as one of the top 50 best small and medium companies to work for in America by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Great Place to Work Institute, Inc. (GPTW). Winners were announced this morning at SHRM’s 61st Annual Conference in New Orleans, the largest gathering of HR professionals in the world.
SHRM and GPTW have revealed the nation’s top 25 small and top 25 medium-sized employers for the last six years.
“Everyone at Noblis is committed to serving our client missions and enabling growth and collaboration across the company,” said Noblis President and CEO Amr ElSawy. “During this difficult economic time, we are proud to be selected to the list of best employers because it reinforces the importance of having a corporate culture that challenges and motivates employees to do their best every day.”
Hundreds of companies across the United States submitted entries in the very detailed and competitive analysis conducted by GPTW. The rankings are primarily determined from employee opinion surveys that analyze an organization’s workplace culture. Employee-survey responses count for two-thirds of an organization’s score. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organization practices and perspectives from the leadership team, which accounted for one-third of the group’s score.
