Michigan Company Named One of the Country’s Best Workplaces for Flexibility
Southfield, Mich., DATE
Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work analyzed more than 500 companies of different sizes across a range of industries. Plante Moran came in 27 on the list, thanks to our combination of flexible workplace policies and a culture that encourages people to make the most of them.
“We’re thrilled to be named one of the country’s best workplaces for flexibility,” said Gordon Krater, Plante Moran’s managing partner. “This award is a testament to the ongoing work of our WorkFlex Committee which supports our mission of providing exceptional client service by helping to attract, retain and develop outstanding talent through initiatives that enable all staff to successfully balance their professional and personal lives.”
At the core of Plante Moran’s culture is an understanding that the whole person comes to work. The firm recognizes staff members not only in their professional roles, but also as people who have family, personal, and community commitments that extend beyond work. The firm offers a variety of benefits and programs to help staff balance these roles, including: Telecommuting, flextime, compressed workweeks, and phased retirement among many other office perks such as dry cleaning pick-up and drop-off, onsite childcare during busy season, and shoe shine services that make worklife balance easier.
Winning companies were selected based on responses to the Trust Index, Great Place to Work’s employee assessment survey, as well as an analysis of respondents’ anonymous comments. Survey questions assessed co-workers’ feelings on work-life balance, in addition to factors like communication, fairness and leadership that affect employees’ ability to accommodate their personal lives without compromising their careers. Fortune and Great Place to Work also considered the range of flexible workplace programs offered at each organization and the frequency of their use.
“Creating career flexibility isn’t as simple as giving people time off or the chance to adjust their schedules to meet demands at home,” said Kim Peters, Executive Vice President of Great Place to Work®. “These companies have made a real investment in credible, trusting cultures that help employees achieve their goals both inside and outside the workplace.”
