WisdomTree Named as a 2021 Best Places to Work in Money Management by Pensions & Investments for Second Consecutive Year
December 13 2021 - 10:00AM
WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded
fund (“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset
manager, announced today it has been named a 2021 Best Places to
Work in Money Management by Pensions & Investments for the
second year in a row and 5 years total. The firm was one of the top
five within the category for managers with 100-499 employees.
This recognition comes in a year when the firm led
the industry in adopting a “remote first” approach to work,
encouraging employees to work from wherever it suits them best.
Initially designed as a response to the pandemic, employees shared
feedback supporting the shift more broadly, and leadership
solidified the approach as an enduring feature of the firm’s
employee-centric culture.
Understanding the need to listen, identify and
adapt to industry trends, WisdomTree consistently differentiates
itself in the asset management industry through a shared sense of
community and purpose that is integrated into its culture. In
addition to professional development opportunities and a policy
that allows employees at every level to hold an equity stake in the
company, the firm sustains a culture in which every employee has a
voice, regardless of position or tenure.
“We are honored to be selected as a Best Place to
Work because the WisdomTree culture is special,” said Jarrett
Lilien, WisdomTree President and Chief Operating Officer. “Our team
is a community of smart, dedicated, passionate and compassionate
professionals who share a vision of innovation. Over the past year
in particular, we have dedicated a lot of time and effort to
evaluating what works for our employees – and what doesn’t. When we
heard from our employees that a traditional workplace was no longer
providing the value it once did, we listened, and we adapted.”
Throughout the pandemic, WisdomTree has provided a
successful onboarding experience for new employees, understanding
that a company’s culture is not easily transferable in the remote
world. The firm also has devoted resources to diversity, equity and
inclusion (DEI) through the establishment of a DEI Council
comprised of employees globally across all levels of the firm. On
top of fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture, the
DEI Council works in tandem with the firm's Women’s Initiative
Network (WIN), established in 2019, to provide career development
and encourage female leadership within the organization, empowering
all to be recognized for the value they bring to the firm.
“We would not be where we are today without our
phenomenal WisdomTree team – they are the reason for our success,”
added Lilien. “We are constantly evaluating ways to continue
fostering a strong workplace culture, and we are thankful for our
talented and collaborative people who make receiving awards like
this so meaningful.”
“Now in its 10th year, P&I’s Best Places to
Work in Money Management spotlights the unique ways that employers
build healthy and thriving work cultures,’’ said Executive Editor
Julie Tatge. “This year was no different. The 100 firms profiled in
our December 13th issue grappled with a myriad of challenges posed
by the pandemic and met them, helping ensure that their employees
felt supported and able to do their best work.”
Presented by Pensions & Investments, the global
news source of money management, the 10th annual survey and
recognition program is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the
best employers in the money management industry.
Pensions & Investments partnered with Best
Companies Group, a research firm specializing in identifying great
places to work, to conduct a two-part survey process of employers
and their employees. The first part consisted of evaluating each
nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy,
systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth
approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part
consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience.
This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total
evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies.
