Art Steinmetz, Chairman & CEO, OppenheimerFunds

OppenheimerFunds, Inc., a leading global asset manager, announced today its place among the Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance by Great Place to Work and Fortune. Results were based on surveys from more than 62,000 people working at leading financial firms. Employees at OppenheimerFunds and other winning organizations reported high levels of trust in their management, as well as camaraderie and pride in what they do.

“We’re delighted to once again be recognized by Great Place to Work and Fortune,” said Andy Doyle, Chief Human Resources Officer. “OppenheimerFunds is committed to building a rewarding and challenging workplace where our employees truly look forward to coming to work each day.”

“Colleagues say their leaders at the Best Workplaces are consistent in their ethics and take an earnest interest in their teams’ feedback when making decisions. This reflects the high level of integrity customers expect from a business entrusted with their money,” said Great Place to Work Executive Vice President Kim Peters.
 
Research from Great Place to Work has found that employees at the best workplaces held their employers in high regard for the ways they give back to the community and the level playing field they create for career advancement. The survey results indicate that these factors lead to stronger loyalty among co-workers, as well as more robust revenue growth compared to companies that didn’t make the list.

“Creating a positive work culture fosters innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit that empowers our employees to do their best work,” said Art Steinmetz, Chairman and CEO of OppenheimerFunds. “This approach enables our firm to be a strategic partner to our clients and active in our communities.”
