Berger Singerman, Florida's business law firm, was named the 2015 Top Mid-Size Workplace by the Sun Sentinel, a leading South Florida daily newspaper. The firm was recognized for its collaborative culture, familial work environment, extensive employee benefits and robust professional development programs. The winners were announced at the Sun Sentinel's Top Workplaces luncheon on April 23, 2015.
"The foundation of any successful business is happy and satisfied team members, and we consider the Berger Singerman team to be family –not employees," said Paul Steven Singerman, co-chair of Berger Singerman. "We are honored that the Sun Sentinel has chosen us as the Top Mid-Size Workplace in South Florida, and thank our team members for their dedication and loyalty, as well as helping us create the strong collaborative culture for which Berger Singerman is known."
Berger Singerman's 159 South Florida-based employees were surveyed by Workplace Dynamics, a human resources consultancy firm compiling the data for the award, with overall responses reflecting that team members felt "appreciated and cared for." Respondents also placed a heavy emphasis on the family-like atmosphere, firm-sponsored social events including team picnics and holiday parties, and Berger Singerman's commitment to giving back to the community.
The Sun Sentinel's Top Workplaces recognizes companies that promote excellence through supporting employee's professional growth and personal wellbeing. A total of 921 employers were nominated or invited to participate, including businesses, nonprofits and governmental agencies in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. The top 45 were selected for the final ranking of the Top Workplaces.
