Rochester, NY Zweig Group has ranked Passero #5 in its “2016 Best Firms to Work For” award program. This marks Passero’s second consecutive year on the list in the category of multidiscipline firms. Passero has also been recognized by Zweig with a “Fast Growth” award.

Wayne Wegman, CEO of Passero Associates, said, “It was exciting the first time, but to be named a second time by the Zweig Group as a “Best Firms to Work For,” and to place in the top 5 of all participating A/E firms in the U.S. and Canada is a remarkable accomplishment for a firm our size. Our ability to achieve this significant industry honor can be attributed to one thing, our talented, committed staff! Their dedication to serving our clients reflects the positive work culture we have created together. We appreciate what our employees do each and every day to elevate and make this firm successful and an award-winning place to do great work!”

Zweig Group is proud to announce the release of the 2016 Best Firms To Work For List, a prestigious list honoring the creation of outstanding workplaces at architecture, engineering, surveying, and environmental consulting firms.  These firms have been recognized for their ability to inspire their teams to perform at the highest levels and create an environment where their people feel valued, can make a difference, and can clearly see their contribution to the overall mission and success of the firm.

The winners will be celebrated at the Hot Firm and A/E Industry Awards Conference held at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, AZ on September 22-23, 2016.  Firms who applied for this prestigious ranking were evaluated comprehensively on firm culture, workplace practices, employee benefits, employee retention rates, professional development, and more – both from the management and staff’s perspectives. Awards were given in the categories of architecture, civil engineering, environmental, multidiscipline, surveying, and structural engineering.

“This program grows every year, and this year in addition to some newcomers we had a number of firms who improved their ranking on the list.  It is wonderful to see the impact this designation can make in further bolstering workplace culture, aiding recruiting efforts, and improving the ability of a firm to get new work!” said Christina Zweig, marketing director, Zweig Group.
