NEW YORK, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Steward Partners, a full-service, employee-owned, independent financial services firm has been named to the 2024 Greater Washington Best Places to Work list, an annual awards program presented by the Washington Business Journal. Steward Partners has consistently maintained its position among the top employers in the region, having been honored seven times in the past eight years across various categories.

"We are honored to once again be recognized by the Washington Business Journal as one of the best places to work in Greater Washington.

The Best Places to Work in Greater Washington awards honor the area's leading employers, companies and non-profits that go beyond the norm to foster an enjoyable and meaningful work environment for their employees. Companies are judged based on the results of an employee survey administered by Quantum Market Research. The survey evaluates companies in 16 different categories including team effectiveness, employee alignment with company goals, trust with co-workers and in senior leaders, feeling valued, communication and resources, and personal engagement.

The Washington Business Journal announced the top companies at an awards event in May and profiled the honorees on its website.

Notably, it ranked 19^th on the Barron's list of Top RIAs in 2023, which evaluates independent advisory companies based on several factors, including assets managed, technology investment, staff diversity and succession planning. Additionally, Steward Partners' advisors have also received accolades from Forbes, with 23 advisors named to the 2024 Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list and two featured on the Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-In-State list in 2024.
