Best Places to Work
Landau Associates was one of 44 firms named by the Seattle Business Monthly as one of the best places to work in the Puget Sound region. "Our employees are Landau Associates' greatest asset," says Steve Johnston, CEO. "We are proud to be honored as a 'Best Place to Work' and are committed to making our workplace one that will attract and retain the best and the brightest." The Seattle Business Monthly recognized Landau Associates for creating a positive work environment; offering their employees excellent retirement, health, and other benefits; and implementing "cool perks", including allowing commuters to use company vehicles for personal use during the day and comprehensive flex time policies, among others. Jeffrey M. Bond, Editor of Seattle Business Monthly states, "My observation has always been that being a Best Place to Work starts with the attitude of the top brass and trickles down to the managers. If the company's managers and executive don't realize the importance of their employees, it is very hard for the latest craze or silly fad in employee recognition to make up for it. I think we found that commitment from management in the 44 companies that we highlight in this section."
