August, 2009 - Citadel Named 18th Best Company To Work For in LA, by Los Angeles Business Journal

Citadel was named the #18th Best Place to Work in LA, by the Los Angeles Business Journal.  The award's intent is to identify the best places of employment in Los Angeles County, benefiting the region's economy, its workforce, and businesses.

Citadel was recognized in the medium-sized category for excelling in:

• - Employee Satisfaction
• - Employee Growth Opportunities
• - Employee Benefits
• - Employee Training

The first part of the award was an evaluation of each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics and the second part consisted of an employee survey to measure employee experience. "To truly be considered a great place to work, a company must do more than give its workers generous benefits and a good salary," said Richard Clough, LA Business Journal. "The Best Places to work often foster an environment of respect and recognition rooted in interpersonal relationships among employees at all levels."

Best Companies Group managed the survey process with assistance from ModernThink LLC, who analyzed the data to determine the rankings. Citadel was honored at the Best Places to Work in LA awards reception on August 5, 2009, hosted by the Los Angeles Business Journal at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.
