Ryan's Chicago Office Wins 2010 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility

CHICAGO, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan, the leading tax services firm in North America, with the largest transaction tax practice in the United States and Canada, today announced that its Chicago office has been honored with the 2010 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. This prestigious award recognizes Ryan's innovative work environment that provides its employees the flexibility to balance their professional and personal lives.  Ryan employees are given accountability and flexibility to work where and when they are most efficient and effective, and are evaluated on results delivered, rather than where and when the work is accomplished.  

"Ryan employees have the freedom to work in a manner where they are most effective and can achieve the best results," said Jim Kranjc, Principal in Ryan's Chicago office. "For example, Ryan recently opened a second office in downtown Chicago, and our employees have the option to work in either location, regardless of where their team is located."

"We are honored to be recognized with this award for our innovative work environment, and especially proud of the resulting improvements in client service," said G. Brint Ryan, CEO and Managing Principal of Ryan. "In exchange for incredible flexibility and freedom, every Ryan employee has accepted responsibility and accountability for producing superior results, and our clients are benefiting as a result."

The Alfred P. Sloan Award is administered by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce and the When Work Works national partners—Families and Work Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for a Competitive Workforce, and the Twiga Foundation.  The winners are selected from the results of an independent and anonymous survey of company employees, evaluating their access to flexible work options and the supportiveness of their company culture.
