For the third year in a row, Greenwalt CPAs, Inc. employees’ have named Greenwalt as a Top Workplace company, finishing #2 this year out of 51 small company employers (firms with less than 150 employees) in the Indianapolis Star’s Top Workplaces survey, published April 17, 2011. This annual survey was conducted by Workplace Dynamics, an independent organization who directly surveyed company employees and compiled the results.

Workplace Dynamics asks employees a number of questions in six major categories, and our ranking among the 51 employers is as follow:

  1. Direction – ranked 1st
  2. Conditions – ranked 1st
  3. Execution – ranked 1st
  4. Career – ranked 2nd
  5. Managers – ranked 12th
  6. Pay and benfits – ranked 7th

Under the Special Awards category, Greenwalt CPAs/Larry K. Greenwalt received the Leadership Award for small companies.

The statements that Greenwalt CPAs scored relatively highest on (according to Workplace Dynamics) were:

  • I have confidence in the leader of this organization
  • I feel well-informed about important decisions at this organization
  • There is not a lot of frustration at my workplace

We had a 90% response rate from employees, compared to the survey average of 62%, which is extremely high, and further strengthens the accuracy and meaningfulness of the results.

We are appreciative that our team has again bestowed this honor on us, but we also firmly believe that in reality, our clients are beneficiaries as well, and that is very important to us. According to Workplace Dynamics, “..top workplaces tend to outperform their peers in areas such as client satisfaction, productivity and employee retention…”
