MBUSA Named Best Place to Work in New Jersey

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) was recognized as "Best Places to Work in New Jersey" by NJBIZ Magazine, the carmaker announced today. The company was elected from a group of 25 large-sized companies and the ceremony is scheduled to take place on April 22, 2010, at the Hilton East Brunswick.

The review process for companies considered was divided into two parts.  The first part looked into each company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics, and was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation.

The second consisted of an employee survey that measured overall employee experience, accounting for approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and final ranking.

"MBUSA has a long tradition of doing business in the Garden State and we thank our associates for their commitment and dedication that has led to continued success -- both here at our headquarters in Bergen County and our regional offices in Parsippany and Robbinsville," stated Ernst Lieb, President and CEO at MBUSA, in a release.

"To achieve this accolade during one of the most challenging times in automotive history is a true statement of how unified we are, working together to inspire our entire organization and deliver the dream that customers associate with the Mercedes-Benz brand."
