OREANDA-NEWS. Ryan, a global tax firm, has been recognized as one of the 2016 Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ in North America for the second consecutive year. This award program is sponsored by Achievers, an industry leader in employee recognition solutions, and honors the top companies in North America that demonstrate innovative ways to engage and reward employees for outstanding performance.

“Rewarding and recognizing employee performance as a way to build an engaged workplace is a smart business strategy that delivers higher levels of talent retention, as well as improved client service and results,” said G. Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ryan. “It’s an honor to have our business strategy validated through this designation as one of the most engaged workplaces in the U.S. and Canada.”

The Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ winners were evaluated based on the Eight Elements of Employee Engagement™: Communication, Leadership, Culture, Rewards and Recognition, Professional and Personal Growth, Accountability and Performance, Vision and Values, and Corporate Social Responsibility. The panel of judges included various academics and thought leaders on employee engagement and included representation from organizations such as the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), HR Technology Conference, and HRO Today.
