Steward Partners Awarded "Best Place to Work" by Washington Business Journal in the Medium-Sized Company Category

WASHINGTON, July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Steward Partners Global Advisory, LLC, an employee-owned, full-service independent partnership associated with Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. (member FINRA/SIPC), was awarded the Best Place to Work in the medium-sized company category at Washington Business Journal's annual ceremony this past week.

Now in its 11th year, the Washington Business Journal's prestigious Best Places to Work list honors companies that excel at creating positive work environments that inspire and engage their employees. This year's honorees ranked highest among the hundreds of Greater Washington companies that participated in an employee engagement survey conducted by Quantum Workplace. Employees were asked to assess different aspects of their work, including communication and resources, work-life balance, personal engagement, managerial effectiveness, team dynamics, trust in leadership and more.

STEWARD'S CULTURE PROVES ATTRACTIVE

Established in late fall of 2013, Steward Partners began with a simple idea: give the advisors a voice in the direction and strategy of the company. That feeling of 'partnership' and having a stake in the company takes on a whole new meaning for our partners," said President and Chief Operating Officer, Hy Saporta. 

Through its association with Raymond James, Steward Partners offers its advisors the independence to focus on their clients' needs while, at the same time, providing them with access to the resources and technology of a larger firm. Steward's "Elite Hybrid" model has generated considerable interest, attracting dozens of established high-end advisors and fueling the firm's expansion to 10 offices and over 100 employees in less than four years. "They give us the freedom to do what's in the best interest of our clients instead of worrying about the day-to-day administration of running a company," said Managing Director Aaron Brachman. "That kind of freedom is rare."

As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering a successful workplace culture, Steward Partners will soon introduce an advisory council made up of a variety of employees from across the firm. The council will brief Steward's board of directors and management team on a quarterly basis regarding any areas of concern or issues that need attention.

Since November 2013, Steward Partners has added 64 advisors with nearly $50 million in trailing 12-month production and over $7 billion in assets under management. Earlier this year, Steward Partners announced the opening of the firm's ninth and tenth locations, in Clearwater, Florida, and Boston respectively.
