June 29, 2009 - PRLog -- Pensacola, Florida-The Great Place to Work Institute, Inc. and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has named Landrum Human Resource Companies, Inc. 18th among the “Best Small & Medium Companies to Work for in America”.  This is Landrum’s fifth consecutive year being named on this elite list.

The results were based on employees’ responses to a detailed questionnaire about the organizations’ workplace culture, including credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.

“We’re honored to be recognized for the fifth year.  We believe happy employees deliver outstanding service to our customers,” said Ted A. Kirchharr, Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer, Landrum Human Resources.  “Our employees deserve the credit for creating and maintaining an environment that makes Landrum a great place to work.”

Landrum helps clients who are frustrated with the rising cost of health insurance and who struggle to keep compliant with ever-changing employment laws and regulations.  Our clients find that time spent administering payroll and handling workers compensation issues could be better spent focusing on their core business, there by increasing their bottom line.
