Business North Carolina Magazine Names Smith Anderson One of the State’s Best Employers

Business North Carolina (BNC) magazine has selected Smith Anderson, the largest business and litigation law firm headquartered in the Research Triangle region, as one of North Carolina’s Best Employers.

The program recognizes the state’s best places to work with the awards program for North Carolina companies that are taking steps to build positive, enduring cultures.

"Attracting and retaining employees has never been more challenging, prompting companies to make unusual efforts to build strong workforces," BNC says. “Business North Carolina’s annual list of Best Employers highlights companies that rank highly in their efforts to motivate teammates and draw strong employees.”

BNC partnered with the DataJoe market research company to create and implement a survey that polled employers and their employees. The survey covered essential workplace topics, including organizational health, leadership, engagement, work-life balance, pay, training and benefits.

"It takes the collective efforts of everyone to make a workplace special,” said Byron Kirkland, managing partner of Smith Anderson. "I have always believed that Smith Anderson is a wonderful place to work, thanks to our strong firm culture and the meaningful work we do on behalf of our clients. We are so pleased that Business North Carolina has recognized us, particularly since this recognition is based on the opinions of those who matter the most – our people."

The BNC honor comes after Triangle Business Journal has named Smith Anderson one of the Triangle’s Best Places to Work for the past four consecutive years.
