Ryan Launches Dynamic New Work Environment for Delivering Superior Client Results

    DALLAS, Aug. 14 /EMWNews/ -- Ryan, the leading tax services firm in

North America, with the largest transaction tax practice in the United

States and Canada, today announced the August 1, 2008 launch of a dynamic

new work environment for delivering superior client service and results,

which the Firm has named "myRyan." This innovative new work environment

provides Ryan professionals and associates the freedom to work in a manner

that best enables them to achieve the highest level of success in both

their professional and personal pursuits.



    The myRyan environment transforms the traditional workplace, creating a

new model designed to dramatically improve employee productivity and

performance. In the myRyan environment, employees are measured on results

achieved, not hours worked. Ryan professionals and associates have flexible

work schedules and locations, with the ability to choose to work where and

when they are most efficient and effective. This helps to ensure that each

individual's time, as well as the time that they require from others, is

spent productively and efficiently.



    In myRyan, professionals and associates collaborate and support each

other, always refining processes and methodologies to continuously improve

their personal and teamwork efficiency. Everyone communicates to ensure

coverage and availability, and they all work as a team to continuously

improve client service and results. Everyone has the freedom to achieve

work-life success and thrive in a guilt-free environment where no one is

judged on when or where they work.



    "Ryan has worked diligently over the past two years to research proven

and innovative ways to provide our employees greater balance between work

and life," said Delta Emerson, Vice President and Chief Human Resources

Officer at Ryan. "We designed myRyan to incorporate a best of breed

approach that is customized to meet the unique needs of our employees, as

well as our clients. And our comprehensive nine-month myRyan pilot produced

incredible improvements in employee satisfaction and client service,

reducing turnover by more than 80%."



    "Everyone at Ryan understands that we have raised the bar on ourselves

to reach even higher levels of client service," said G. Brint Ryan,

Managing Principal of Ryan. "myRyan is the most innovative work environment

in the tax services industry and a powerful part of our ongoing strategy to

attract and retain the industry's most talented team of tax professionals."
