Rockville, MD - June 22, 2015 - For the 2nd straight year, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has earned a "Top Workplace" honor for the Greater Washington Area from The Washington Post.
The Top Workplaces program designates good employers based solely on employee opinions, which are gathered through a comprehensive survey developed by the company WorkplaceDynamics. WorkplaceDynamics partners with 30 of the most prestigious publications around the country to deliver its regional top employer lists.
The survey focuses on employee satisfaction in three key areas, which collectively make up an employer's "organizational health":
- Direction, which is about employees' being emotionally bought into what the organization is striving to achieve
- Execution, which is about the company's having a high performance culture
- Connection, which is about employees' feeling that they are being appreciated and doing something meaningful
"We are honored to once again be recognized as a top workplace by The Washington Post," said ASHA CEO Arlene Pietranton, PhD, CCC-SLP. "At ASHA, we work hard to foster a supportive and collaborative workplace that our employees are proud to be a part of—both because of how they are treated and the excellent work that they do on a daily basis to support our 182,000 members in the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology."
ASHA and the other DC-area top workplace honorees were recognized at a June 18 reception and in a special supplement in the June 21 issue of The Washington Post.
