SHRM announced its Best Companies to Work for in New York 2009 contest in the summer of 2008, and Life's WORC entered in the category of large-sized companies (250 employees or more). We were competing against very large organizations like Nokia, The American Cancer Society, Edward Jones & Grant Thorton - just to name a few. The selection process, conducted by Best Companies Group, is based on an assessment of the companys employee policies and procedures and the results of an employee survey. We placed #9 out of the 40 companies recognized as the best in New York - and of course there were many more companies who competed but did not even make the top 40 list.
