Employees give firm high ranks for workplace excellence, as published in The Holmes Report
ATLANTA (February 22, 2006) — Jackson Spalding, the Atlanta-based image creation, cultivation and communication firm, was ranked this week as one of the nation’s top public relations agencies to work for, according to The Holmes Report, an industry trade publication.
For the fourth consecutive year, Jackson Spalding was the only Atlanta-based agency to be recognized in the “Best Agencies to Work For” ranking. The firm was ranked 6th among “Best Small Public Relations Agencies to Work For” from across the country.
The firm participated in an annual ranking process in which more than 4,500 employees from approximately 100 agencies nationwide completed an online survey conducted by The Holmes Report. Employees were asked a series of questions covering all aspects of their firm’s culture, from trust in management to quality of client service. Jackson Spalding was profiled in the ranking among firms that “scored outstanding marks from their employees.”
The Holmes Report stated “…the firm scored particularly high marks when employees were asked whether their agency did a good job of attracting and retaining high caliber employees — and an agency where even the most junior account staff feel as though they can make a difference.”
“We know how critical it is to not only hire the right people, but to nurture and grow them into great leaders,” said Bo Spalding, a principal with Jackson Spalding. “This daily focus benefits not only our firm and its employees, but also our clients and the service we provide them. We are honored to once again be recognized by The Holmes Report and our staff for building a great workplace.”
