Covenant Security Services, the nation's premier provider of comprehensive security services, was named by Forbes Media and Statista as one of America's Best Midsize Employers in 2017 and for the second consecutive year. Covenant is again the highest ranked security services company on the list and 95th overall out of 300 companies with over 1,000 employees.
As one of 300 companies on the list, Covenant was selected based on the attitude of its employees towards Covenant as well as the public perception of Covenant by industry employees. According to Forbes, the selection process is "based on an independent survey conducted by statistics portal Statista from a sample of 30,000 American employees working for large or midsize firms or institutions." Over 1,800 organizations were analyzed for this project.
"To be named to this prestigious list for a second straight year is very rewarding," Covenant President Greg Iannuzzi said. "It shows the consistency with which we engage our employees in our unique culture, benefits, and care programs. Our security professionals are the core of the Covenant family and this is a tribute to them."
Covenant provides security services to over 160 client locations with over 3,500 security professionals throughout the country. Covenant is known within the security industry for its strong employee retention program, offering full medical, dental, and vision insurance along with free life insurance, a generously matched 401(k) program, flexible paid time off, transportation and commuter benefits, and career advancement opportunities.
In the survey conducted by Forbes and Statista, one of the most important metrics of the assessment was an employees' willingness to recommend their employer.
"Our team works extremely hard to find new ways to keep our employees invested in Covenant's organizational values and goals," Iannuzzi said. "This recognition that they are doing it the right way."
