GPM Brings Home a "Best Places to Work" Award for 5th Consecutive Year| Gray Plant Mooty has been named one of the “Best Places to Work” for 2007 by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. This marks the fifth consecutive year that GPM has been recognized for its outstanding work environment—the only law firm in Minnesota to reach that milestone. “Gray Plant Mooty has a long history of employing people who value professional excellence in their work and personal respect in their work relationships,” explains Tamara H. Olsen, GPM’s Managing Officer. “We love to do great work—and we enjoy doing it with each other. That combination has created a rich culture of highly satisfied employees. It’s immensely gratifying to be recognized year after year as one of the best places to work in Minnesota.” |

Companies earn the “Best Places to Work” award based on how employees respond to the Business Journal’s online survey, which addresses issues such as work environment, opportunities for personal growth, embracing new ideas, and day-to-day operations. To be considered, companies must have an office with 10 or more employees in the Twin Cities’ 11-county metro area, or be a Minnesota-based company with at least 1,000 employees anywhere in the state. Companies must also meet a participation requirement—with at least 50% of employees completing the online survey.
A record 220+ companies were nominated this year—up 10% from 2006—which makes GPM’s achievement especially noteworthy. Companies are grouped by size: small (10-100), medium (101-1000) and large (1001+); Gray Plant Mooty won in the medium category with 332 employees in its Minneapolis and St. Cloud offices.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal named just 45 companies across the state 2007 "Best Places to Work" and those organizations are profiled in a special supplement to the Business Journal's Aug. 17 issue.
