Benefits of Building
a Career at ARI In July 2002, when ARI moved to new headquarters more than twice the size of our former offices, we satisfied—for the time being—our need for extra space to contain our growing projects. This winter, in order to satisfy our need for more talented employees to drive our projects, ARI has created seven new jobs—which will expand our full-time workforce by more than 25 percent. Dr. Yaron Brook, executive director, noted: "Despite a weak economy, ARI continues to expand. Our employees are more productive than typical workers elsewhere, but the problem we have is that we're seriously understaffed. We have more good ideas, more opportunities, than we can take advantage of." Debi Ghate, in-house counsel and human resources manager, said that although finding and training new intellectuals remains the Institute's key goal, "to achieve our mission we also need talented senior managers, professionals, program coordinators and assistants. We're now recruiting employees for a wide range of positions—from a vice president to a bookkeeping assistant-because, like other corporations, we need skilled people to carry out such jobs and support the work being done by the intellectuals." The Institute offers its staff values unavailable elsewhere. All full-time employees, for instance, are afforded paid time to attend one class a semester at ARI's Objectivist Academic Center. We have a sizeable lending library of taped courses on Objectivism. Our policy on paid time off is generous and includes special allowances for staff to attend Objectivist summer conferences. Our staff also benefit from health and dental coverage. Among other benefits, they have the option of starting a retirement savings account (similar to a 401(k) plan) to which the Institute makes matching contributions. We offer our staff manifold opportunities for training and other forms of career development. "Ours is a workplace with many successes to celebrate, and working for us is demanding. Our employees hit the ground running," said Mrs. Ghate. She added: "In my view ARI is a unique employer and the advantages of working here-not to mention living in this area-are definitely worth it." ARI is located in Irvine, California, about 50 miles south of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of San Diego. —Impact, February 2003 |
