Philly.com Names SPIN, Inc. a Winner of the Delaware Valley 2017 Top Workplaces Award
PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–For the eighth year in a row, SPIN, Inc. (Special People in Northeast)
has been awarded a Top
Workplaces honor by Philly.com. SPIN ranks among the top
12 large companies to receive the 2017 recognition, and is the top
ranking Human Services organization. The Top Workplaces lists are based
solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics,
LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational
health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture
were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to
name a few.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes,
people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” says Doug
Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace,
organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health.
And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the
culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has
proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where
the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling
that everyone is in it together. Claffey adds, “Without this sense of
connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top
Workplace.”
At the heart of SPIN’s culture is a commitment to develop people and to
provide a high-quality experience for employees and the people they
support with autism and intellectual disability. As a result, they have
cultivated a thriving workforce and have become the organization of
choice for families seeking services. President and CEO of SPIN, Kathy
Brown McHale explains, “We can’t expect our employees to be people-first
if we don’t invest in them and show them we care about them. At SPIN we
are all linked together by a mission that has tremendous meaning – and
it takes great people to achieve it.”
