Franklin Templeton and three of its specialist investment managers were recognized in the 2024 Best Places to Work in Money Management awards announced by Pensions & Investments. Franklin Templeton was included in the Super Employers category for those with 1,000+ employees, while Brandywine Global, Clarion Partners and ClearBridge Investments were included in the Large Employers category for those with 100 to 499 employees.
Presented by Pensions & Investments, the global news source of money management and institutional investing, the 13th annual survey and recognition program is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the best employers in the money management industry.
"We are truly honored to be named once again as one of the Best Places to Work in Money Management by Pensions & Investments," said Jenny Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Franklin Templeton. "Franklin Templeton's culture is based on three C's -- Client-centric focus, Collaboration to achieve the best results and Continuous improvement. I'm incredibly proud to lead such talented and dedicated employees who live these ideals every day."
"We are committed to developing employee programs that encourage dialogue, build trust and recognize achievements, with an over-arching goal to cultivate an inclusive, values-driven environment," said Penny Alexander, Franklin Templeton's Chief Human Resources Officer.
Pensions & Investments partnered with Workforce Research Group, a research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to conduct a two-part survey process of employers and their employees.
The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 20% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 80% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies.
"As their employees attest, the companies named to this year's Best Places to Work list demonstrate a commitment to building and maintaining a strong workplace culture,'' said P&I Editor-in-Chief Julie Tatge. "In doing so, they're helping their employees, clients and their businesses succeed.''
"Pensions & Investments is proud to honor the Best Places to Work in Money Management for the 13th year. A strong workplace culture that supports talent, advocates progress and drives innovation is paramount to driving the best outcomes and these asset managers demonstrate that. Congratulations to the 2024 honorees for their commitment to employee well-being, attractive incentive structures and talent development that demonstrate how investing in your employees can elevate our industry to greater heights," said P&I President and Publisher Nikki Pirrello.
