EAST HANOVER, NJ, MAY 3— Friedman LLP took 8th place in the medium-sized company category of the 2006 50 Best Places to Work in New Jersey competition, sponsored by business weekly NJBIZ.

 

The ranking, published in a current supplement of NJBIZ, is based on the results of independently conducted employee surveys and a review of firm identity, benefits and policies.  

 

At an awards presentation packed with   representatives from an elite group of 50

businesses eager to learn their exact ranking, New Jersey Managing Partner Jeff Zudeck took to the podium to accept the honor. It was a moment to take pride in the success of the firm’s ongoing efforts to recruit and support top talent and foster a work environment rich with opportunity. 

 

“I went in excited to be a participant at the event, but even I didn’t expect us to make the top ten our first year out,” Zudeck remarked. “It’s a tremendous honor. It says to me that our employees really enjoy our environment and what we have to offer.”

 

Human resources partner Michael Gaines is pleased with the added visibility resulting from the ranking. “The firm is experiencing considerable growth and with it a need to recruit and retain capable and talented people in greater numbers,” he said. “The boost in name recognition is helpful in differentiating us and making us an even more attractive employer.”
