Law firm recognized as 'cool' workplace

Howard & Howard Attorneys PLLC was recognized among the "Cool Places to Work in Michigan" for 2014 by Crain's Detroit Business.

The Crain's Cool Places to Work recognition program honors employers that go the extra mile to make employees feel appreciated - as judged by the employees themselves. The program was open to Michigan businesses, nonprofits and government entities. To participate, an organization must have at least 15 employees at a Michigan location.

According to Crain's: "Harrisburg, Pa.-based research business Best Companies Group gathered data and conducted surveys on each organization to create the final rankings. The rankings are divided into three groups according to organization size, as measured by employee count. Best Companies ranked 75 companies that it felt earned the badge of Cool Place to Work. Best Companies' assessment is done in two parts. On the employer side, the organization provides extensive information on its benefits, policies, practices and perks, then employees' voices are heard through a confidential, 80-question survey. The final ranking is heavily weighted toward the employee portion of the assessment, accounting for 75 percent of the evaluation. The employer end accounts for the remaining 25 percent."
