Dallas, Texas – Ryan, a leading global tax services firm, was recently ranked number one on the FORTUNE 50 Best Workplaces for Flexibility list. More than 600 companies of varying sizes, across a wide range of industries, were evaluated for this prestigious designation. Ryan’s selection as the very best flexible workplace in the United States follows several other FORTUNE workplace recognitions, including the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For® and the FORTUNE 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials.
“Ranking number one across the entire United States in workplace flexibility validates our strategy to build and maintain a premier work environment for delivering superior client service and results,” said G. Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ryan. “Ryan associates are demonstrating the power that an innovative and flexible work environment has on business productivity and success.”
The driving force behind Ryan’s tax services market leadership position is a commitment to attracting and retaining world-class professionals at all levels of their careers. The Firm’s internationally recognized flexible work environment, called myRyan, measures work performance based on results achieved, as opposed to hours worked. Since rolling out myRyan, the Firm has dramatically improved employee retention and satisfaction, demonstrated consistent revenue growth, and achieved the highest client satisfaction ratings in company history.
As one Ryan employee said in the FORTUNE profile: “It’s all about the quality of the work we put out, not the hours we put in.”
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 success, 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.”
