Brandywine Global Wins Pensions & Investments Best Places to Work in Money Management AwardBrandywine Global Investment Management, LLC announced today it was named a Best Place to Work in Money Management for 2018 by Pensions & Investments. Presented by Pensions & Investments, the global news source of money management, the seventh-annual survey and recognition program is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the best employers in the money management industry. The award marks the fourth time, and third consecutive time, Brandywine Global has been recognized by Pensions & Investments as a Best Place to Work among managers with 100 to 499 employees. "Our consistent ranking among the best workplaces in the investment management industry is a testament to our belief that superior client outcomes come from engaged and enthusiastic employees," said Managing Partner Adam Spector. "As a company, we strive to give our employees the support and recognition they deserve for their hard work and dedication. For that reason, we couldn't be more thrilled to be recognized again by Pensions & Investments." "Again this year, it is clear that what makes firms great employers isn't necessarily about money management in particular," said P&I Editor Amy B. Resnick. "Employees at these top-ranked firms most often cited their colleagues, the firm's culture and the benefits as the things that make it a great place to work." Spector added, "This year, we successfully completed a major undertaking as we relocated our U.S. headquarters. For most firms, this type of change would be daunting. However, when your employees are involved in virtually every step of the process, the end result is a new workplace that everyone enjoys and takes pride in. We used focus groups, surveys and even on-site demos to incorporate employee feedback regarding design, acoustics, lighting, amenities and more. Not only did our efforts show employees they matter, our beautiful, state-of-the-art office now truly reflects our culture, provides plenty of space for collaboration, and ultimately helps us to do our best work" Pensions & Investments partnered with Best Companies Group, an independent research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to conduct a two-part survey process of employers and their employees. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies.
