ARI Named Among Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For(R) for a Fourth Consecutive Year

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., March 4, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARI®, a leading global fleet services provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, was named to Fortune's 2016 100 Best Companies to Work For® list for the fourth year in a row, coming in at Number 24. This is the highest the company has ever been ranked in its four years on the list. ARI continues to be the only fleet management company, the highest among the companies located in New Jersey (of which there are only two) and only one of four companies headquartered in the Philadelphia region named to this annual list that recognizes companies that have exceptional workplace cultures.

"We are incredibly honored to be named to Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list for a fourth consecutive year," said ARI President Chris Conroy. "Being named to the list year after year is entirely due to our people, who are not only the best at what they do when it comes to fleet management, but also go the extra mile when it comes to their colleagues, offering support when it is needed, celebrating successes when they happen and pitching in to overcome any challenges that come along. It is that atmosphere of teamwork, cooperation, understanding and support that makes ARI such a special place to work."

In addition to being recognized for its collaborative atmosphere and family-like culture, the company was lauded for its internal employee engagement and empowerment program Partners in Excellence® which is designed to foster open communication and provide recognition for a job well done. ARI was also praised for its focus on employee development and its 100 percent tuition reimbursement program as well as the company's supportive approach towards work-life balance.

Conroy continued, "While we are very proud to be on the list for a fourth year, we continue to look for ways to engage our employees so we can improve what we are doing – from the continued development of our in-house employee learning and development program ARI University to the continued evolution of our unique quality assurance and employee recognition program Partners In Excellence. We will continue to work to remain one of Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For and be the kind of company where an individual can build a satisfying and fulfilling career."
