Special People In Northeast, Inc. (SPIN, Inc.) named as a Top Workplace in the Tri-State area Philadelphia, PA – March 22, 2010 The Philadelphia Inquirer has named SPIN, Inc. as #6 of the best large companies to work for in the tri-state area for 2010. Based on independent, online surveys of employees, 100 employers in the Delaware Valley made the grade as a top place to work in this annual recognition. Not only have SPIN’s employee's responses placed SPIN in the elite eight, they have also ranked the non-profit as number one in the special award category of Quality. “Achieving recognition as number one in quality is truly exciting” states Donna Hyde, SPIN’s Corporate Officer for Employee Services. “Often people don’t think about non-profits as doing things efficiently and well, but at SPIN we set the highest standards for ourselves and then support one another to achieve them.” A hallmark of SPIN is its investment in workforce development through its corporate university, SPIN Institute for Service Excellence. “Nothing is more linked to the quality of the services we provide than the quality and competence of our workforce. And at SPIN our staff are second to none” according to Kathy Brown McHale, Chief Program Officer. SPIN's team of 960 highly competent and dedicated professionals provides high quality residential, employment, behavioral health and day services for adults with intellectual disabilities or autism and head start, preschool, early intervention and behavioral services for children with or without developmental disabilities. Last year SPIN supported over 3,700 children, adults and families to have more inclusive and more meaningful lives throughout the Philadelphia region. A quiet celebration featuring cake and balloons to thank and recognize employees and others who care about the organization will be led by David A. Losinno, President and CEO and Trina Losinno, Executive Director on Wednesday March 24.
