3/17/2009

March 17, 2009 - Ice Miller LLP was recently named as one of the 2009 Best Places to Work in Indiana. The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, BizVoice, Inside INdiana Business, the Indiana Youth Institute, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Best Companies Group.

This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Indiana, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2009 Best Places to Work in Indiana list is made up of 40 companies in the small/medium-sized list (25-249 employees) and 30 companies in the large-sized list (250+ employees). Ice Miller has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana in the large-sized company category.

"We are honored to be named one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana. In order for our Firm to continue to grow and prosper we must support the development of our most important asset – our people," stated Byron Myers, chief managing partner at Ice Miller.

To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:

· Have at least 25 employees in Indiana;

· Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity;

· Be a publicly or privately held business;

· Have a facility in the state of Indiana; and

· Must be in business a minimum of one year.

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Indiana. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Indiana and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

Ice Miller will be recognized and honored at the Best Places to Work in Indiana awards dinner coordinated by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce on May 5. The final rankings will be announced at the event.
