Westfield Group was named one of North America's Top Small to Mid-size Companies for Leaders by Hewitt Associates in 2007. Westfield is one of three North American companies to receive the award.
Hewitt Associates conducted the leadership study in partnership with The RBL Group and FORTUNE magazine and selected the Top Companies for Leaders through an independent panel of judges. Companies were evaluated on criteria including leadership practices, company reputation, leadership culture and values and business performance.
Westfield's leadership development and succession planning programs, implemented during the last six years, incorporate personal employee development plans into the everyday operations of the businesses. These programs allow Westfield Group to devote resources, including time with senior level executives, to employees who demonstrate potential for future corporate leadership.
