As lead sponsors of the Best Places to Work breakfast, Boston-based staffing firm Hollister and the Northeast Human Resources Association (NEHRA) today extended congratulations to the 60 companies the Boston Business Journal has recognized as the best places to work in Massachusetts.

“Hollister has chosen to sponsor the Best Places to Work event since its inception in 2003 because we recognize the value in creating an attractive work environment. Today’s job seekers are looking to work for companies with personality and that put employees first when it comes to daily office life,” said Kip Hollister, Founder and CEO of Hollister. “The companies that the BBJ recognizes annually understand that each employee is integral to their success and therefore an asset. They are committed to nurturing a stimulating, positive work environment, as a means to retain and attract quality employees.”

Hollister reached out to a handful of the companies the Boston Business Journal will honor at a breakfast on June 11 and asked how they have cultivated award-winning work atmospheres. You can view the questions and answers on Hollister’s blogs http://www.bostonhiringblog.com and http://www.bostonjobsblog.com

Bob Eubank, the Executive Director of NEHRA said, “Because people are important to the success of an organization, human resources is at the center of a company’s ability to be profitable. NEHRA has chosen to sponsor the Best Places to Work event because we want to celebrate the 60 companies the Boston Business Journal has recognized for creating and maintaining positive work environments and also reinforce the message that how we hire, support and grow employees is critical to bottom line success and sustainability.”

The Best Places to Work are selected based on the results of employee-satisfaction surveys. Employees answered questions that addressed work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, company support, recognition of achievement, relationships with co-workers and supervisors, and benefits. Categories include small, medium, and large-sized businesses.

Shawmut was the only firm in the A/E/C industry to make the BBJ list in the large firm category.

Thomas Goemaat, Shawmut’s CEO, is honored to be recognized. “The construction industry has really taken a beating during the past year, and these results show me that our employee-owners have been able to stay focused on the long-term,” says Goemaat. “I am proud of how our staff has remained committed to delivering a high level of client service, maintaining strong communications, and supporting and encouraging each other. It’s this level of support and service that makes Shawmut such a great place to work.”

Deploy Solutions Named One of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts for the Third Consecutive Year

Westwood, MA (PRWEB) June 23, 2005

The Boston Business Journal has named Deploy Solutions one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts for the third consecutive year. The award recognizes Deploy’s achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture. The Business Journal award comes two days after Deploy being honored as one of the “25 Best Small Companies to Work for in America” by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Great Place to Work Institute (GPTWI).

“For the third year in a row, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages,” said George Donnelly, Boston Business Journal editor. “Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business.”

The survey project was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm QMR Inc. of Wichita, Kan. Thousands of Massachusetts companies were contacted as a part of the process.

“We’re delighted to be recognized again for the third consecutive year,” said Rosanna Young, manager of human resources at Deploy. “At Deploy, we place a great deal of focus on developing innovative programs that benefit both employees and the company, such as our employee of the quarter program and our outreach and volunteer initiatives, which allow all employees to get involved. By ensuring that our Guiding Principles are reflected in all of our programs and in our hiring and retention strategies we are able to maintain our strong corporate culture, which we believe is one of the factors that makes Deploy truly an Employer of Choice.”

Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 18,000 employee-satisfaction surveys. Employees answered questionnaires that addressed such factors as: their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement, and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning points to each question.

“Accommodating employees’ personal needs pays back dividends of loyalty and productivity,” noted BBJ publisher Mike Olivieri. “The companies on our list recognize that their commitment to employees is especially important as the economy strengthens and competition for talent continues to grow.” Olivieri continued, “The Best Places to work are all winners because they acknowledged that the care of their employees is instrumental in maintaining the quality and reputation for services and products.”

“I am extremely proud to be a member of the Deploy team,” said Nicole Stata, CEO of Deploy Solutions. “As we grow as a company we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to develop our culture, benefits and opportunities that make Deploy a place where the best people continue to come to work, be challenged, develop, and foster life-long relationships. We are very excited to see that our workforce continues to be recognized by leading local business publications such the Boston Business Journal.”
