Rochester, N.Y. – February 25, 2026 - Continental Service Group, LLC d/b/a ConServe, a top-performing provider of accounts receivable management services specializing in customized collections solutions, is proud to announce The New York State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group, BridgeTower Media, and Rochester Business Journal have named ConServe as one of the 2026 Best Companies to Work for in New York.

Best Companies to Work for in New York is a research-driven program that examines a company’s practices, programs and benefits and also surveys its employees for their perspectives. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

The best places of employment in New York are identified in three categories: small companies (15-99 employees), medium companies (100-249 employees) and large companies (250 or more employees). To be considered, companies must have at least 15 full-time or part-time employees working in New York; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; be a publicly or privately held business; have a facility in the State of New York and be in business a minimum of one year.

There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75 percent of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings.

“The 2026 Best Companies to Work for in New York know that the people in their organizations are the key to their success. These businesses realize what it takes to create an environment that results in teamwork and excellence, which in turn provides a quality service or product,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/Rochester Business Journal. “Rochester Business Journal is pleased to join the New York State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group and BridgeTower Media in honoring these outstanding businesses.”

"Being named one of the Best Companies to Work for in New York is an honor we are proud to celebrate once again," said Rich Klein, President of ConServe. "This recognition reflects the strength of our core values and the dedication of our remarkable employees, who bring those values to life every day. We remain committed to recruiting, hiring, developing, and promoting the very best because our people are, and always will be, our most valuable asset.”

The winners will be honored April 21 at the Best Companies to Work for in New York celebration at the Marriott Albany. To learn more about The Best Companies to Work for in New York and to review the complete list of winners, please visit: https://rbj.net/event/best-companies/
