Winners and Rankings Announced for the Best Places to Work in Collections 2010

insideARM.com today announced the winners and full rankings in the third annual Best Places to Work in Collections. This award program was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best places of employment in the accounts receivable management industry (ARM), and was created and facilitated by insideARM.com and Best Companies Group.

“We’re especially proud to salute ARM companies committed to excellence, since the ‘bad seeds’ in our industry tend to get all the attention,” said Stephanie Eidelman, President of Kaulkin Media and Publisher of insideARM.com. “Honoring these companies perfectly aligns with our stated mission to ‘shift the public conversation about the ARM industry.’”

Companies from across the country entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Collections. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration, survey and analysis process and determined the final rankings.

“We sincerely thank all of the ARM companies that participated in the program,” said Eidelman. “They underwent a rigorous evaluation process, ensuring that the winning companies are truly succeeding in their efforts to provide a challenging, satisfying, and motivating work environment for their employees.”

The Best Places to Work in Collections for 2010 is made up of 27 companies divided into three size categories: Small (15-74 employees), Mid-Sized (75-249 employees) and Large (250+ employees).
