PURCHASE, NY – Quorum Federal Credit Union (QFCU) has been named one of the Best Companies to Work For in New York for the fourth year in a row. This year, the company was ranked No. 15 in the “Companies with less than 250 Employees” group.

The award was granted to QFCU by the New York State Society for Human Resource Management and the Best Companies Group, an independent company managing the Best Places to Work programs on state, regional and national stages around the country. The statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify and honor the best places of employment in New York, thereby supporting the state’s economy, workforce and businesses.

“Our ranking as the one of the best places to work in NY is a source of great pride for our team,” said Glenn Shuster, Vice President of Human Resources at Quorum. “The fact that this ranking is based solely on employee feedback makes this recognition all the more relevant and rewarding. That we have been honored with this for the fourth year in a row tells me we are doing the right things by our employees and continues to demonstrate for us what an engaged workforce we have.”

Fifty companies were named to the Best Companies to Work For in New York list. The companies were assessed on the basis of their workplace policies, practices, philosophies, systems and demographics. Employees within nominated companies were also asked to complete surveys used to measure individual experience.

All 50 companies were recognized and their rankings revealed at the Best Companies to Work for in New York awards dinner on April 30, 2013, at the Albany Marriott.
