The Top Small Workplaces winners will be announced on October 1, 2007, in a Wall Street Journal report on small business and honored at a conference in Chicago.

The competition is co-sponsored by Winning Workplaces.

“The PR industry has awarded us many wonderful titles - Best Place to Work, Boutique Agency of the Year – but it is exceptionally rewarding to be recognized among all industries nationally by such a distinguished organization as the Wall Street Journal,” said Christine Barney, APR, rbb Public Relations CEO. “Our workplace is the result of the creativity, passion and commitment of our amazing staff.”

The competition seeks companies who foster teamwork, flexibility, high productivity and innovation while treating employees with respect and providing opportunities for professional growth and advancement. It also looks at both traditional and nontraditional benefits that make the employee experience better.
