Best Places to Work Information
Entering its eighth year in 2009, the "Best Places To Work" awards program recognizes top Southern Nevada employers for innovative human resource practices and programs.
This awards program can promote and distinguish your company as an employer of choice in our community. As a nominee, your company receives a listing in the "Best Places To Work" publication. Winners receive a company profile in the special publication, a prestigious award suitable for display, collateral material for recruiting and advertising and a videotaped company profile showcasing your company during the award ceremony.
In addition to nominating your company for this prestigious award, you have the opportunity to be a sponsor. Last year's event drew hundreds of nominees from all industries in Southern Nevada and in excess of 500 attendees. Sponsorship is an excellent way to reach key decision-makers for hundreds of local businesses.
To be considered for an award, employees and their employers must follow a two-step process: First, an employee nominates their company as a Best Place to Work. Second, the employer (typically the HR Director and/or President) fills out the awards entry form which describes the company's work environment, employee benefits and other factors which lead the company to be one of the "Best Places to Work". A panel of judges anonymously judge the applications and award 1st and 2nd place for each category: Small, Medium, and Large.
We are proud to announce our Keynote Speaker:
Scott Abbott
Scott's current practice involves advising employers on a multitude of employment issues, ranging from hiring criteria to discipline and discharge decisions. He also works with employers on preventive strategies including employee training and the development of internal policies and procedures. Because of the rise of employment-related litigation in recent years, a considerable portion of Scott's practice also involves defending employers against claims of discrimination and other unlawful treatment before the state and federal courts and administrative agencies. |
Scott Abbott is the Managing Partner of the law firm of Kamer Zucker Abbott, and has spent the majority of his legal career exclusively representing employers in all facets of labor and employment law. Prior to becoming an attorney, Scott worked as a human resources professional which allowed him to learn firsthand the issues which confront employers on a daily basis with respect to their employees. That experience has been enormously helpful in his practice to assist clients in achieving their human resources objectives in compliance with applicable laws. Scott received his Juris Doctorate cum laude from Boston University and received his Juris Doctorate cum laude from Suffolk University Law School. He is admitted to practice as an attorney in both Nevada and Massachusetts.
