TREVOSE, PA \u2013 October 23, 2006 –<\/strong> Advertising Specialty Institute\u00ae (ASI), the largest media and marketing organization serving the advertising specialty industry, announced today that it was named one of the \u201cBest Places to Work\u201d in the Greater Philadelphia area, by the Philadelphia Business Journal<\/em> \u2013 one of seven selected in the large business category.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBest Places to Work\u201d designation is presented each year to 50 select employers that are dedicated to improving existing benefits and implementing new unique programs, emphasizing the importance of employee contributions and development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the second year in a row we have been named a top employer,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president of ASI.\u00a0\u201cWe pride ourselves on having a family-friendly environment, along with opportunities that foster personal and professional growth, so that our employees can better maintain a balance of work and life.\u00a0 If they are successful, ASI is successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our most distinctive programs is our parent return to work program,\u201d said Carol Albright, vice president for human resources at ASI.\u00a0\u201cWe offer eight paid weeks of daycare for new parents, either at our onsite facility or at a daycare center of their choice. This benefit has made it easier for many new parents to transition back into their work environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

ASI has also added a smoking cessation program and financial education seminars to provide more opportunities for employees to develop personally. Sixty percent of the employees who attended the first smoking cessation program session have successfully stopped smoking, and over 200 employees have learned the basics of buying a home, doing their taxes and planning for retirement at the financial education seminars.<\/p>\n

A sampling of employment benefits available to ASI workers include: onsite daycare facility, onsite caf\u00e9 and Starbucks coffee stand, recognition programs for special achievements, onsite dry cleaner, discounted auto insurance, 401(k) plan, profit-sharing program, tuition reimbursement, parent return to work program, staff development programs, employee assistance program, paid time off, and medical, dental, life and disability insurances.<\/p>\n

To be considered one of the \u201cBest Places to Work,\u201d ASI completed an application process; became nominated; and surpassed the requirement to become a finalist by achieving an unusually-high 65% participation rate on a confidential employee third-party survey about working at ASI.<\/p>\n
