LINTHICUM, MD, September 30, 2020 — NFM Lending is proud to announce it was named one of the winners of the Best Places to Work 2020 by Baltimore Business Journal.
Every year, Baltimore Business Journal (BBJ) conducts a months-long nomination process and online survey of local companies. The survey was limited to employees in the Greater Baltimore area presently employed by the companies they rated. The BBJ explains the Best Places to Work as a “program [that] measures a wide range of research-validated workplace factors that impact employee engagement and satisfaction. Best Places to Work foster a workplace where employees willingly go above and beyond in their work, advocate for the organization and intend to stay into the future.” Finalists are placed into one of four categories based on the number of employees: micro, small, midsize, and large. Only 10 companies per category were named finalists; NFM Lending was the second place winner in the large category.
“NFM is proud to accept this award as one of the top workplaces in the Baltimore region,” said Gene DiPaula, Vice President of Communications. “It’s a reflection of how we all feel about working for such a great company that has made a tremendous effort to keep everyone engaged and connected during these difficult times. Starting with only three employees in a tiny office down on Fleet Street, it really was built from the ground up by the Silverman family, along with our incredible current and former employees. To all of them, we thank you for getting NFM to where we are today.”
