(CSRwire) NEW YORK, NY January 9, 2007 – For the eighth year, Deloitte & Touche LLP has been named to FORTUNE magazine’s list of “100 Best Companies to Work For.” The 10th annual survey, which appears in the January 22nd issue of FORTUNE and on www.fortune.com, is the national benchmark that lists employers who consistently raise the bar on human resources programs and corporate culture improvement for all employees.

"We're pleased to be recognized as one of the best places to work," said Barry Salzberg, Managing Partner, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. "We work hard to provide our people with a challenging and supportive workplace, and continue to adopt innovative ways to meet their needs."

Employee opinions factor heavily in FORTUNE’s decision, with two-thirds of the organization’s score coming from surveyed employees.

“I’m extremely proud to have this recognition because it a reflection of how our people experience life at Deloitte and tells us that we’re focusing on the areas that are important to them,” said Paul T. Parker, chief people officer, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP.

Deloitte continues to be a leader in work/life management, career and leadership development, women’s advancement, diversity & inclusion and community involvement. Among the human resources initiatives launched in the past year:

Mass Career Customization, an initiative that allows individuals to advance at their own pace and design a good fit between their lives and careers.

The FORTUNE list 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.
