RAND Ranked One of the Best Places to Work in
New York City by Crain's New York Business

New York, November 17, 2008

RAND Engineering & Architecture, PC is not only growing fast—it's growing better.

After making Inc.'s Fastest Growing Private Companies in the United States for the second year in a row, RAND was named one of the "Best Places to Work in New York City" by Crain's New York Business. The rankings were based on more than 25,000 surveys taken anonymously by employees at over 300 New York City companies. RAND ranked 26th overall among the top 50 firms and 8th among small businesses.

The surveys asked employees to rate how strongly they agreed or disagreed with such statements as "I enjoy doing my work," "I understand my company's plans for future success," and "I trust the leaders of this organization to set the right course." Among the 10 categories in the survey, RAND staff rated their firm highest in "Trust in Senior Leaders" (93% responding favorably) and "Trust with Coworkers" (90%).  Other categories that RAND employees rated highly were "Individual Contribution" (87%), "Alignment with Goals" (87%), and "Feeling Valued" (86%).

Quality of Life Amenities

Crain's profile on RAND singled out the firm's quality-of-life amenities, such as a recreational room with a pool table and dartboard and its free on-site gym with personal trainers and yoga classes. Another nice touch: the company reimburses employees up to $50 to display their travel souvenirs on a wall in the recreational room to enliven the workplace. Additionally, RAND provides on-site seminars that can count toward professional education requirements.

"We're especially proud of this award because it's based on how our own employees feel about working here," said RAND's founder and President, Stephen A. Varone, AIA. "We've always strived to create a workplace where people enjoy what they do and how they do it, and we'll continue to find ways to help each other stay happy and productive."
