(CSRwire) NEW YORK, NY - For the seventh year, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP has been named to FORTUNE magazine's prestigious list of "100 Best Companies to Work For." Three hundred fifty-six organizations completed the annual survey, which has become the national benchmark for excellence in workplace and human resources practices. The complete list of organizations appears in the magazine's January 24th issue and can be accessed at www.fortune.com.

"Receiving this honor from FORTUNE is gratifying because it validates our continuing efforts to provide an excellent work environment for our people, and to make Deloitte a place where the best choose to be," said James H. Quigley, CEO of Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. "By providing rewarding assignments, professional development, mentoring, growth opportunities and workplace flexibility, we are creating a culture that allows our people to achieve their personal and professional goals.

"Participating in this survey is an important reminder of our commitment to our people," added Quigley. "We're committed to enhancing our culture for the long-term, and doing all the things the very best organizations in the world do to support their people."

Deloitte continues to be a leader in the areas of work/life management, career and leadership development, diversity and community involvement. Among its most recent innovations is Deloitte Career Connections, a career management resource that provides career coaching, a wide range of assessment tools and other resources to help employees meet their career goals at Deloitte.

The FORTUNE survey of "100 Best Companies to Work for in America" pays tribute to the companies that excel in motivating employees and helping them manage their personal and professional lives. FORTUNE also surveys employees at each company, asking a variety of questions about credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. Employee opinions factored heavily in the decision process for the list, as two-thirds of the company's score was weighted on responses from randomly selected employees.
