Outreach named on `Best Companies` list for fourth consecutive year

Outreach, a drug and alcohol treatment program with offices in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, has been named one of the Best Companies to Work for in New York State for the fourth year in a row. 

In 2013, the non-profit organization ranked among the top 30 companies in the category of small-and-medium-sized employers, those with fewer than 249 U.S. employees.

Created in 2007, the Best Companies program evaluates and ranks the best places of employment in the state based on employee satisfaction and engagement, and workplace practices and policies.

"We are especially honored to be recognized this year," said Kathleen Riddle, President of Outreach. "Following Hurricane Sandy, so many of our employees struggled with personal loss and extraordinary challenges, yet, they made sure our level of service was maintained and that our organization was there to assist clients and students, many of whom also faced obstacles. I couldn't be prouder of our staff and pledge that our agency will continue to be a place where workers are supported to the greatest extent possible."
