Boston Business Journal honors Randstad Technologies as a 2012 "Best Places to Work" Winner

BOSTON, June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boston Business Journal has named Randstad Technologies one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its tenth annual regional awards program. The honor recognizes Randstad Technologies' achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of enhanced employee satisfaction, optimal working conditions and an engaging company culture. This marks the sixth consecutive year Randstad Technologies has received the award.

Randstad Technologies was one of more than 400 companies to qualify for consideration based on a two-stage nomination process and the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout March and April, 2012.

"We are incredibly honored to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts for the sixth consecutive year," stated Bob Dickey, EVP of Technologies at Randstad U.S. "Especially in today's environment, we understand the importance of creating a dynamic workplace that our employees genuinely want to be a part of. This is truly a testament to our strong commitment towards our core values, in which our continuing success, our ability to achieve our mission, and our reputation for integrity, service and professionalism are based on. Thank you to all of our talented staff who continue to make Randstad Technologies one of the best places to work."

"The Best Places to Work annually recognizes the importance of cultivating a great workplace culture as a competitive advantage," said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. "Companies on our list can be justifiably proud of creating a high level of workplace satisfaction during an economy where traditional rewards like big raises and bonuses aren't as easy to give. In good times and in bad, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages. Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."

This year's Best Places to Work survey program was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm Quantum Workplace of Omaha, NE. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 18,000 employee-satisfaction surveys. Employees answered questionnaires that addressed factors such as their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement as well as relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning points to each question. The top 25 companies in three size categories — small (20-100 employees), midsize (101-500 employees) and large (more than 500 employees) — were awarded during a celebration on June 1 at the BCEC and will be profiled in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal.
