NEW YORK, N.Y. — Financial services firm Edward Jones placed among 50 exceptional organizations on People magazine’s first annual “50 Companies That Care” list, jointly chosen by People magazine and consulting firm Great Place to Work.

The outstanding companies were recognized for going above and beyond to create a caring environment for employees and for supporting them throughout their professional and personal lives.

Edward Jones came in at No. 19 on the list, which was based on more than 368,000 surveys from individuals employed by U.S. businesses across a range of industries. The 2017 “50 Companies That Care” also were selected based on the generosity of their benefits and charitable work, as well as personal accounts of the incredible impact these organizations have made on the lives of their employees.

“What we found so striking about the Companies That Care was just how personal their employees’ stories were. These organizations go out of their way again and again to look after the well-being of their people, both day to day and during personal struggles when they need it the most, said Kim Peters, executive vice president of Great Place to Work.

“We are proud of this honor, which reflects our firm’s culture of striving to always do what is right — for our clients and our associates,” said Financial Adviser DiAnne Karas. “We believe we have an opportunity to make a significant and meaningful difference in the lives of our clients, our associates and our communities where we live and work.”

Karas’s office is at 2190 Wapakoneta Ave., Sidney.
