Access Group, a non-profit premier originator and servicer of private educational loans and a third party servicer as well, has recently been declared the “Top Workplace” in a yearly competition patronized by Delaware’s ‘The News Journal’.

Access Group was awarded this title in the category of ‘Midsize Companies’. Overall 90 employers participated from Delaware in this ‘workplace analysis’ survey. The survey was conducted among 13,522 employees who represent 7.9% of Delaware’s working population.

The survey was conducted electronically by Workplace Dynamics from the employees of 90 contesting employers. The survey asked the employees to give ratings to their organization on factors such as quality of workplace, its environment, organizational culture, Management’s leadership style, quality of colleagues, training programs offered to employees, perks other than the pay and the adequacy of pay itself.

Delaware’s ‘The News Journal’ distributed the survey among 13 sectors of the state’s total business sectors including insurance, health care, financial services, education, non-profit, hospitality, retail and professional services.

This is the fourth time that Access Group has been declared as the ‘Top Workplace’ in the ‘Best in the Business’ contest. It was the company’s 2nd consecutive victory in 2 years and fourth time overall that it has been titled as ‘Top Workplace’.

“In these times, it is especially important that we celebrate our employees and focus on the positive. Our future as a company depends on our employees’ commitment to excellence and we want to recognize their hard work and dedication,” said Christopher P. Chapman, Access Group’s president and chief executive officer.

An Access-Group-Employee wrote the comments on his survey that he was satisfied with the ambitions of the company because the company finds innovative ways to remain competitive, maintain its profitability and organically increase its business.
