NEW YORK, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- For the ninth year, Deloitte & Touche
LLP has been named to FORTUNE magazine's list of "100 Best Companies to Work
For." The 11th annual survey, which appears in the February 4th issue of
FORTUNE and on www.fortune.com, is the national benchmark that lists employers
who consistently raise the bar on talent initiatives and corporate culture
improvement for all employees.
    "Without a doubt, being named to Fortune's list is extremely gratifying,"
said Barry Salzberg, CEO, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. "What matters most is
knowing our people recognize a difference in the environment we've put in
place to support their success."    Among the initiatives that helped put
Deloitte on this year's survey:

    -- Mass Career Customization (TM) -- a tool that allows people to dial up
       and dial down in their careers to suit their personal needs, while
       still advancing in the organization

    -- Coaching & Career Connections -- an internal coaching and career
       development resource providing live and virtual coaches on a
       confidential basis

    -- IMPACT Day -- a one-day example of Deloitte's year-round commitment to
       volunteer service when its 40,000 employees are encouraged to engage in
       projects to help nonprofits solve business challenges

    -- A Diversity Mentoring Program which offers minority senior managers and
       managers the chance to work with experienced professionals as mentors
       who provide career advice and leadership development.

    -- The Deloitte Film Festival -- a film-making competition and team-
       building exercise in which thousands of people created videos about
       their lives and experiences at Deloitte

    The FORTUNE list of "100 Best Companies to Work for in America" pays
tribute to the companies that excel in motivating employees and helping them
manage their personal and professional lives. Of some 1,500 firms that were
contacted, 406 companies participated in this year's survey. Nearly 100,000
employees at those companies responded to a 57-question survey created by the
Great Place to Work Institute, a global research and consulting firm. The
employees are asked a variety of questions about credibility, respect,
fairness, pride and camaraderie. Employee opinions factored heavily in the
decision process for the list, as two-thirds of the company's score was
weighted on responses from randomly selected employees.
