SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Plante & Moran, PLLC, the largest regional public accounting and consulting firm in the Midwest, has been named to FORTUNE Magazine's 2004 list of "The 100 Best Companies to Work For" for the sixth consecutive year. A profile of all companies recognized with the FORTUNE 100 award is featured in the magazine's January 12 issue and on its Website, http://www.fortune.com/ .
The award recognizes Plante & Moran for its innovative people practices, including non-traditional career opportunities, flex hours, free Saturday childcare during tax season, bonuses for tech-savvy administrative staff and a fun "family" culture where parties, promotion celebrations, "Yeah Team" signs, and firm-paid visits from the Good Humor truck are commonplace.
Bill Hermann, CPA, Plante & Moran's managing partner, says the FORTUNE award is a great way to kick off the firm's 80th anniversary in 2004. "Plante & Moran has a strong tradition of innovative HR policies, stemming from the personal convictions of our late founding partner and coach, Frank Moran," explains Hermann.
"An 80 year history in the client service industry is not a fluke; it requires dogged pursuit in hiring and retaining the best people who provide outstanding service to our clients. This year's FORTUNE award is acknowledgement that we have stayed true to our core purpose -- and that has always been a guiding force in moving the firm forward."
To be eligible for the FORTUNE recognition, applicant companies must have a minimum of 500 employees and be in business for at least 10 years. Two- thirds of the ranking is based on randomly selected employee responses to the Great Place to Work Trust Index, a survey instrument by the Great Places to Work Institute that measures the quality of workplace culture.
