It is the fourth consecutive year in which McGraw Wentworth has earned the Top Workplace designation.
The Detroit Free Press Top Workplaces are grouped by size category of Large, Medium, and Small (under 150 employees), with the rankings based upon responses to a confidential employee survey conducted by WorkplaceDynamics.

We definitely have our busy times, and Health Care Reform has added another layer of complexity to our work. Yet, it is times like these when our team really shines.”
McGraw Wentworth also earned special recognition from WorkplaceDynamics as “Doers”, earning high scores from employees in response to the statement “At this company, we do things efficiently and well”.
