State has been recognized as a Best Places in Work in Collections for the ninth consecutive year. This prestigious award is sponsored by ACA International and administered by the Best Companies Group, which conducts over 60 “Best Places” programs each year.

“We are honored that for the ninth year in a row, State has been named a Best Places to Work in Collections, based on feedback from our team members,” said Tim Haag, State’s president and chief executive officer. “I believe that being named to the list yet again is a testament to the strength of our people, culture, values, and team cohesion.”

Companies from across the U.S. entered the rigorous two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Collections. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration, survey and analysis process and determined the final rankings.
