SPIN Named a Top Workplace for the Ninth Year by Philadelphia Media Network
PHILADELPHIA, PA (March 19, 2018) – SPIN (Special People in Northeast) has been awarded a 2018 Top Workplaces honor by Philadelphia Media Network, marking its ninth year receiving the recognition. The provider of intellectual disability support services and early childhood education ranked 13th in the large company category and was the second-highest ranked nonprofit organization overall. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools. The anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.
“As a nonprofit that serves people on a 24/7 basis with limited resources, sharing the spotlight with the region’s top companies is a huge accomplishment,” said Kathy Brown-McHale, SPIN’s President and CEO. “Our employees are committed to creating a place where everyone feels valued, included, and respected—and it shows.”
“Top Workplaces is more than just recognition,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement.”
“Becoming a Top Workplace isn’t something organizations can buy,” Claffey said. “It’s an achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It’s a big deal.”
