Recognized for flexibility and unique, innovative culture
MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2007--Today, Capital One
Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) has been named one of the "100 Best
Companies to Work For" by FORTUNE Magazine. Capital One was recognized
for the broad range of programs and policies that promote a positive
associate experience. For example, its Future of Work (FOW) Program
that provides flexibility in space, technology and tools for
associates to work where and when they need; company-wide support for
associates in times of crisis like Hurricanes Katrina and Rita;
opportunities to volunteer and give back to the community; and its
innovative use of different learning channels for career development
like the Audio Learning Program.
"We are very honored by this award - and it has been earned by our
associates. Competitors can offer products we offer in this day and
age," says Matt Schuyler, Chief Human Resources Officer, "but we
believe our people and our values really make the difference. From the
beginning, we have refined and adapted our programs and services based
on associate feedback. We provide a great work environment that
enables our people to deliver excellence everyday."
The FORTUNE Magazine list ranks Capital One at number 84 among the
top 100 companies and 29 of the 39 large employers (10,000 employees
or more). Capital One is one of 7 Virginia-based companies to make the
list.
"The 100 Best Companies to Work For" list is compiled for FORTUNE
by Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz of the Great Place to Work
Institute in San Francisco, based on two criteria: an evaluation of
the policies and culture of each company, and the opinions of the
company's employees.
The complete list and related stories appear in the January 22
issue of FORTUNE, available on newsstands January 15 and at
