Brinker Simpson & Company is pleased to announce that for the second year, The Philadelphia Business Journal has awarded our firm a Best Place to Work for 2011 in the Small Company category.

The Best Places to Work program ranks the top employers in the Delaware Valley according to scores given to the companies by their own workers. The program was administered by an independent surveying firm that asked employees of nominated companies to anonymously rank their employer on several dozen questions relating to team effectiveness, trust with co-workers, alignment with goals, trust in senior leaders and practices related to respect, recognition and benefits. The contest uses no outside judges or subjective criteria, and companies are benchmarked against their size peers. To qualify, a statistically significant number of employees, based on company size, must complete the survey. “It isn’t easy to ‘game’ a contest like this,” said Sonja Sherwood, associate editor of the Philadelphia Business Journal. “You either have loyal and engaged employees, or you don’t even make it into the qualifying round.”

We are very proud of this honor and thank our exceptionally talented and dedicated team for voting us a Best Place to Work 2011 for the second year in a row.
