East Hanover, NJ – July 8, 2024 – This year, Kessler Foundation, a major nonprofit organization in the field of disability, has once more been named one of the top 50 NJBIZ’s Best Places to Work in New Jersey. The Foundation has garnered recognition four times within the last five years in the medium-sized organization category, 50 – 249 employees.

The NJBIZ award program acknowledges and celebrates the state's leading employers who demonstrate a strong commitment to their employees' growth and development. It collects data that evaluates companies in areas such as leadership, diversity, perks and policies, community and environmental impact, and compensation. Through surveys, employees share feedback about their employers, which provides useful, actionable information to those employers.
“We celebrate the culture of care, camaraderie, diversity, and respect our employees have for each other,” asserted DeRose. “Peak performance within an organization hinges on the strength of its culture and the dedication of passionate employees who are committed to the company’s mission. As a team, we help people with disabilities regain function, attain maximum independence, and live better lives.”
Kessler Foundation conducts innovative rehabilitation research aimed at enhancing the mobility and cognitive abilities of individuals living with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, autism, and other disabling conditions.
