IEM Named a Best Company for Remote Workers

IEM ranked fifth in Quartz Magazine’s rankings

October 6, 2023, Research Triangle Park, NC – IEM, the world’s largest woman-and minority-owned emergency management and disaster recovery consulting firm, was recently named one of Quartz Magazine’s Best Companies for Remote Workers on their annual list created in collaboration with the Best Companies Group. IEM is honored to have been named #5 in the 2023 rankings. This global survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best places of employment in remote work, benefiting the industry’s economy, workforce, and businesses.

IEM and the other recipients who earned this recognition were part of a two-part survey process that evaluated both employee experience as well as the company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The employee experience portion of the process was weighed more heavily, accounting for 75 percent of the total assessment carried out by Best Companies Group.

“Our third annual list of the Best Companies for Remote Workers makes it simple for employees who value remote work to find employers who value it, too,” said Quartz executive editor Heather Landy. “As we move beyond the pandemic, companies are settling into normal rhythms of remote work. We’re proud to acknowledge workplaces that do this in stand-out ways; they are excellent models for engaging with remote workers and setting them up for success so that they, in turn, can help their employers succeed.”

IEM’s remote workforce brings diversity, experience, and expertise to our project and client work. Amy Stewart, IEM’s Director of Human Resources, stated “Remote work gives us the flexibility to bring in talent from around the nation. By cultivating a diverse team of subject matter expert consultants with sought after experience and skills, we are better able to deliver exceptional work that makes a difference for our clients.”
