Suffolk Construction Co., Inc. was ranked 40th in Training Magazine's "Training Top 125", which is considered one of the most elite rankings among Fortune 500 companies for training and development. The publication highlighted Suffolk's implementation of its corporate-wide training initiative on green building and LEED (Leadership for Environmental & Energy Design) as a differentiator. Suffolk's rank was unveiled during a gala in Atlanta sponsored by the national publication.
Suffolk joined a host of organizations on this year's list. Suffolk ranked higher than organizations such as Marriott, Master Card, Northwest Airlines, Ameriprise Financial, UPS, MGM Grand, Best Buy and Caterpillar. Suffolk was also the third highest ranked construction company.
"Suffolk's ranking on this list alongside so many successful nationally-recognized companies is an incredible honor and a key milestone in our drive to provide our employees the number one training program in the country," said John Fish, CEO, Suffolk Construction.
Training and developing employees is a critical component to Suffolk's corporate strategy. Red & Blue University, Suffolk's employee development program, provides a curriculum that trains and educates people on every aspect of the construction industry, along with the skills they need to provide the highest levels of client service.
