Bohler Engineering wins Best Place to Work Award in New York; Firm maintains a "work hard, play hard" culture

Bohler Engineering was named the number one "Best Company to Work for in New York 2015." With three New York office locations, Bohler won the top spot in the Large Company category. This is the first year the firm has been nominated for the competition in New York. For the past several years, Bohler has also been recognized as a Best Place to Work in New Jersey and Washington DC. The "Best Companies to Work for in New York" award is a statewide program managed by Best Companies Group and New York State Society for Human Resource Management (NYS-SHRM). In its eighth year, the initiative honored 65 companies with operations in the state. The "Best Companies" project is open to all profit and non-profit companies that have had an office in the state for a minimum of one year with at least 15 employees. With offices in Albany, Hauppauge and Manhattan, NY and nearly 500 employees along the East Coast, Bohler Engineering was listed in the Large Company Category. Companies were evaluated using a two-part survey of employee satisfaction and engagement (75% of the score) and employer practices and policies (25% of the score). Winning companies demonstrated an understanding of company culture, ability to attract the right employees, increased staff engagement and overall appreciation of hard work. "We've always maintained a 'work hard, play hard' culture at Bohler," said Joseph Deal, Principal of Bohler's New York Metro region. "I'm especially proud that this win is due to our staff's survey response. From our training programs, career development planning and excellent benefits to employee recognition, office communication and team building events, a lot of effort goes into making Bohler a great place to work."
