DUBLIN, Ohio -- BMW Financial Services was named one of the "Best Small and Medium Companies to Work for in America" by the Great Places to Work Institute (GPTWI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
BMW Financial ranked seventh among the 25 companies selected in the medium business (251 - 1,000 employees) category. More than 400 companies in the small and medium categories were considered.
"It's gratifying to see our commitment to create a positive company culture being recognized by those who know best -- unconditional experts in the field of human resource management," said John Christman, chief executive officer of BMW Financial Services, Americas Region.
The businesses on the "Best Companies" list were acknowledged as having used smart people-management strategies to develop a strong trust between employees and management. The selections were based on the results of a randomly-distributed employee opinion survey about the organizations' workplace cultures. Areas examined included: methods of communication between senior management and employees, opportunities for personal and professional growth, vehicles for employee recognition and appreciation, company benefits and bonus programs and special events and ways of having fun.
Attracting and retaining talented employees have been crucial factors behind BMW Financial Services' long-term growth and success, said Christman.
GPTWI cofounder Robert Levering said, "The companies on this list set the standards for all workplaces. They show that companies can become successful by creating an environment where employees trust their management, have pride in their work and have positive relationships with their coworkers."
The Great Place to Work Institute Inc. is a research and management consultancy. The organization produces similar "Best Companies to Work for" lists, including Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For."
SHRM is the world's largest association devoted to human resource management. Representing more than 185,000 individual members, its mission is to both serve human resource management professionals and to advance the profession. Founded in 1948, SHRM currently has more than 500 affiliated chapters and members in more than 100 countries.
