Lincoln Tech Cited by Newsweek as a Top Employer for Second Consecutive Year
Parsippany, NJ, Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training for more than 75 years, has been recognized by Newsweek for its annual list of America's Greatest Workplaces. This marks the second consecutive year Lincoln has received the award, based on a review of both the corporate headquarters in Parsippany, NJ and its campuses across the country.
"At Lincoln Educational Services, we know the value of developing and retaining the strongest possible workforce," says Scott Shaw, Lincoln's President and CEO. "We are always seeking feedback from our teams across the country about where we can improve, and what we're already delivering well for our employees. To be recognized by Newsweek two years in a row as one of the nation's top employers speaks to our commitment to employee satisfaction, and we're honored to receive this award."
At a time when recent polling showed worker engagement nationwide reached only 30% - an 11-year-low according to Gallup* - it has become more critical than ever to ensure an organization can not only hire but also retain top talent. Placement on the Newsweek list demonstrates, according to the publication's website, "even in the face of waning enthusiasm among much of the workforce, it is still possible to create a great environment that facilitates engagement."
The rankings were based on employee surveys including questions related to compensation and benefits, training and career progression, diversity and inclusion ratings, work-life balance and company culture. An organization's online reputation was also assessed, including online mentions and reviews of senior management.
