JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: BKFS) announced today it has been awarded a WorldatWork Seal of Distinction for 2017. The seal is a unique mark of excellence designed to identify organizations that are leading the change in today's workplace by creating and implementing successful work-life standards and total rewards effectiveness to help optimize employee engagement.

Begun in 2012, the prestigious Seal of Distinction is awarded to companies that meet defined standards of workplace programs, policies and practices weighted on several factors, such as the complexity of implementation, required organizational resources, perceived breadth of access and overall level of commitment from leadership. Seal of Distinction recipient organizations were ranked highest by employees in their industry sectors for creating positive work environments and for the overall strength of their work-life programs, policies and practices. Examples of factors that applicants are evaluated on include:


    --  Health and wellness
    --  Retirement
    --  Perquisites
    --  Base pay
    --  Bonus programs
    --  Recognition
    --  Development opportunities
    --  Caring for dependents
    --  Culture initiatives and community involvement

"Receiving WorldatWork's prestigious Seal of Distinction is an honor for our company and helps validate Black Knight's commitment to the well-being of our workforce," said Black Knight President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Sanzone. "As Black Knight continues to grow, evolve and innovate to support the mortgage industry, our most important asset remains the same: our employees. As an employer of choice, Black Knight understands the value of continually investing in our employees through challenging work, competitive compensation and a focus on promoting from within where possible."

The 2017 list, which includes 80 companies that are first-time Seal of Distinction recipients, represents organizations within education, finance, government, health, law, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals from 36 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Eighty companies have received the seal in previous years. In addition, 11 organizations have qualified every year since WorldatWork started presenting the Seal of Distinction in 2012.

"We congratulate all of the recipients of the 2017 Seal of Distinction. These recipients represent a wide variety of industries from across the U.S. and Canada, showing that the total rewards model applies to employers and employees everywhere," stated Anne C. Ruddy, president and CEO of WorldatWork. "This year, we saw the highest number of applicants since the Seal of Distinction was created. I'm confident that this means an increasing number of companies are recognizing the importance of a workplace environment that benefits both the employer and employee."
