OREANDA-NEWS. July 12, 2016. Ryan, a leading global tax services firm, was recently named to the FORTUNE 50 Best Workplaces for Recent Graduates list. Nearly 700 Great Place to Work-certified organizations of varying sizes, across a wide range of industries, were evaluated for this prestigious designation. Ryan’s selection as a top workplace for recent graduates follows several other recent FORTUNE workplace recognitions, including the FORTUNE 50 Best Workplaces for Flexibility (Ryan was ranked number one), FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For® and the FORTUNE 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials.

“Ryan’s significant appeal to the best and brightest young talent in the industry underscores our dedication to provide the tools and opportunities that help new graduates reach their full potential,” said G. Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ryan. “Maintaining a work culture that empowers our associates to achieve work-life success continues to drive remarkable business results and unrivaled client service excellence.”

Ryan’s internationally recognized flexible work environment, called myRyan, measures work performance based on results achieved, as opposed to hours worked. Since rolling out myRyan, the Firm has dramatically improved employee retention and satisfaction, increased revenue, and achieved the highest client satisfaction ratings in company history. 

As one Ryan employee said in the FORTUNE profile: “What I like most about working for Ryan are the opportunities for me to thrive personally and professionally.”

According to FORTUNE, companies on the 50 Best Workplaces for Recent Graduates list are workplaces that excel in providing great employee experiences in areas important to recent graduates, including everything from the meaning behind their work, to their development opportunities.

FORTUNE asked Great Place to Work to determine the winners by taking into account the rate at which companies are adding new jobs year-over-year, how many of their newest employees were recent college graduates, and the results on a series of questions from the Trust Index© related to workplace traits important to recent graduates. Great Place to Work surveyed more than 337,000 randomly selected employees and collected program information from nearly 700 organizations.

“Every company’s future is built by the people it hires today,” said Kim Peters, Executive Vice President of Great Place to Work®. “The Best Workplaces for Recent College Graduates inspire their newest team members to fully invest their talents in the workplace, knowing that their leaders are committed to employees’ personal and professional growth.”
