Best Place to Work
Read
Yesterday, our firm was once again named the #1 Best Place to Work in South Florida. That’s a very special honor for us, and I wanted to share a few thoughts.
What makes this place so special is our employees. We don’t just hire great accountants. We recruit, select, mentor and develop great people.
Here’s what I mean.
- Our people love what they do, so our clients get the special attention and the caring service that sets us apart from other accounting firms
- Our people care about each other, so our teams — everything from client audit teams to our championship CPA softball team — help each other improve performance all the time
- Our people are smart and resourceful. They recognize that, to continue to grow, they need to see beyond the numbers to what matters most to clients, and find ways to deliver.
- Our people care about our community, and are willing to spend time and energy to make it better.
For 48 years we’ve put our employees first. As the firm has grown we’ve put new programs in place that help to maintain the caring, family atmosphere.
I’m gratified that, while the economic downturn has affected everyone in South Florida, our employees trust that management is still focused on maintaining our Joy At Work culture.
What do you think makes a great place to work?
Before opening my consulting practice, I worked for one of Boston’s “Best Place to Work” Companies the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Having worked in 5 other places before joining the Medical Center, I was thrilled to benefit from the diverse ways that it had earned the award including access to an organizational development team that designed & facilitated retreats for my staff, a cafeteria style menu of benefits, a respect for different work styles including job sharing & flextime.
I know how hard it is to achieve the number 1 status of these awards and applaud Kaufman Rossin for building a workplace that engages, motivates and once in awhile even “thrills’ their employees.
