Celebrating 51 Years as a Small Business and Great Place for Employees to Work

LB Goodman & Co was recently recognized for the 2nd consecutive year as one of New Jersey’s best places to work by NJBIZ. The company has been repeatedly recognized by NJBiz and Accounting Today as a best place to work.

“We are honored to be recognized again this year. When you spend so many hours with colleagues in your work life, it’s important to enjoy the people and the experience,” states managing director David Goodman. He continues, “A core belief in our firm is that we each have the power to make a positive difference in the lives of others. I think that is a key component in making us a great place to work.”

Creating an optimal work experience is important to Goodman. The team’s core values include a “can do” culture that encourages everyone to help one another—as well as their clients—to achieve success.

This mantra makes business sense, too. Goodman believes by taking good care of his employees, his employees will, in turn, take wonderful care of their clients.

Fostering employee engagement has inspired a variety of employee-led initiatives like “Dining with David,” a book club, and “Dress Down for Charity,” a community event.

Making employees a priority is a sign of skilled leadership. With historic record-low unemployment, it’s a job seeker’s market. This means employee benefits alone are not enough. Never has it been more important to create a quality employee experience. Such experiences are the right thing to do, plus they are great strategies for employee retention. Happy employees will stay longer, and some will stay for life. And, that, says Goodman, is great for the team, our clients and for business.
