ATLANTA — The National Association for Business Resources (NABR) recently ranked the City of Atlanta as one of “Atlanta’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For” for the fourth consecutive year.
“For the fourth year in a row, the NABR has recognized the City of Atlanta’s commitment to employ a best-in-class workforce committed to the ongoing success of the city and a high level of customer service,” said Mayor Kasim Reed. “During my Administration, the City of Atlanta
has raised the minimum wage for employees, launched a study of pay disparities for women, and has earned recognition as a top employer for LGBTQ workers. I am proud that our efforts and our employees are again celebrated for their accomplishments.”
For the ranking, an independent research firm evaluated each company’s entry based on key measures in various categories, including Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment, Selection and Orientation; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; and Community Initiatives and Strategic Company Performance.
“The City of Atlanta strives to be an employer of choice, and this recognition reflects the strength of our various employee engagement initiatives and the hard work our employees provide to constituents every day,” said Yvonne Yancy, Commissioner of Human Resources. “We aim to provide exceptional service to Atlanta residents and visitors as well as to the 8,000 women and men in our workforce.”
The City of Atlanta has previously been recognized for innovative strategies in employee relations, best practices in human resources and achievements in employee education and development.
“We are honored to recognize the efforts of this year’s ‘Best and Brightest’ companies. These companies have created impressive organizational value and business results through their policies and best practices in human resource management. This award has become a designation sought after by hundreds of metro Atlanta area companies and is a powerful recruitment tool in the drive to attract and retain exceptional employees,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO of NABR.
