MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. – BlessingWhite, one of the world’s leading management
consulting and leadership development training companies, recently announced
the winners of its 2008 Leadership Award. This prestigious award is given each
year to the three companies among BlessingWhite’s vast global client base that
have achieved the most significant results in driving breakthrough performance
and a purposeful culture.
Weichert
Relocation Resources Inc. (WRRI) was recognized for its commitment to building
a culture of serial innovation, which has helped the company speed to market
its cutting-edge Next PracticesSM, the next generation of workforce mobility
best practices.
“We’re
proud to be among the elite group of companies recognized by BlessingWhite for
this coveted award,” said Aram Minnetian, President of WRRI. “Our people are
our most important distinction and we are proud to have a highly-engaged
colleague base that inspires innovative solutions that build a stronger, more
compelling, value proposition.”

percent colleague engagement rate and an 89 percent colleague satisfaction rate
across its global operations. WRRI’s colleague engagement rate is almost twice
the average corporate rate of 40 percent, according to BlessingWhite’s Employee
Engagement Survey.
“Becoming a
global industry leader in challenging market cycles isn’t something you do with
the flick of a switch. You need to build and maintain a culture that embraces,
supports and drives innovation,” said Chris Rice, CEO of BlessingWhite. “Our
award recognizes the work that WRRI has done to engage its workforce and develop
the leadership to ensure that Next Practices can be effectively cascaded
