INNOVEST WINS BEST PLACES TO WORK IN MONEY MANAGEMENT AWARD FROM PENSIONS & INVESTMENTS

New York, NY (Dec. 14, 2020)– Innovest Portfolio Solutions is a winner of the 2020 Best Places to Work in Money Management award announced by Pensions & Investments today.

Presented by Pensions & Investments, the global news source of money management, ninth-annual survey and recognition program is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the best employers in the money management industry.

The Innovest culture is defined by our mission of stewardship. We are not just an investment firm; we are thoughtful stewards responsible for our clients, professionals, and community. The most important component of the Innovest culture is the emphasis on hiring and developing high-character professionals who share the Innovest mission, core values and bedrock principles. The Innovest character can be defined as “a calling to give” to our clients, our colleagues, and to the greater good. Our culture helps us attract and retain the best and brightest in the industry. This has allowed Innovest to establish a strong reputation as a great place to work.

“In this very unusual year, we learned again that employers that consider the overall well-being of their employees are regarded well.  The best employers in 2020 are those that have stepped up with policies and practices to support and protect employees’ physical and emotional health, while continuing to keep the focus on clients’ needs,” said P&I Editor Amy B. Resnick.  “Our surveys found that the employers on the list were likely to work hard to sustain their corporate cultures, even during times of pandemic lock downs and continuing to work from home in many cases.”

“The overall hiring of employees is well thought out and character is paramount, which helps everything else fall into place in the long run,” said one Innovest employee on the survey.

Pensions & Investments partnered with Best Companies Group, a research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to conduct a two-part survey process of employers and their employees.

The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies.
