Bridgewater-Based Company Named Best Place to Work

R&J Public Relations LLC, a public relations firm based in Bridgewater, has been named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey for 2013 by "NJBIZ Magazine," according to a release from the company.

This marks the third consecutive year the agency has earned this recognition, the release said.

This annual program identifies, recognizes and honors the top places of employment in New Jersey, honoring up to 100 companies split into two groups namely small/medium-sized companies (15-249 employees) and large-sized companies (more than 250 employees). 

R&J Public Relations, the release said, has been named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey in the medium category, becoming one of only 62 companies to receive this honor in the small/medium-sized business category.

“This recognition is a tribute to the commitment and professionalism of our staff and the value that they bring to our agency and our diverse client base,” said John Lonsdorf, president of R&J Public Relations, in the release. “We have made a commitment to employing only the best, brightest and most enthusiastic PR professionals and providing a work environment that contributes to their success and our clients’ success. Achieving this prestigious recognition for three straight years is only possible because of the collective efforts and collaboration of everyone at R&J Public Relations.”

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the 100 Best Places to Work in New Jersey, the release said. Part one consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics.

The second part of the application consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

The overall process, the release said, was managed by Best Companies Group (BCG). BCG also analyzed the data provided and determined the final rankings.

The award program, created in 2005, is produced by NJBIZ. NJBIZ, program sponsors and partners will honor this year’s 100 Best Places to Work and announce their ranking during an awards dinner and ceremony on April 25 at the Hilton East Brunswick.
