RESTON, Va., Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Collaborative Solutions announced its placement on FORTUNE Magazine and Great Place to Work^®'s list of 2018 Best Workplaces for Women at #11. This is the first year the company has ranked on this list.

"The Fortune Best Workplaces for Women award is one of our proudest achievements in an incredibly successful year," said Bob Maller, President and Chief Culture Officer. "We know that diversity in the workplace is critical to the bottom line of business, equipping us to better understand our customers, igniting our most innovative ideas, and maintaining our competitive edge. But at Collaborative Solutions, our bottom line really is our employees, so learning that the women of Collaborative feel supported, valued, and empowered is the ultimate win."

Rankings for this award were considered based on survey responses from more than 540,000 employees from Great Places to Work-Certified companies, as well as the general makeup of the company including representation of women in the workforce and throughout management. The 60-question survey measured employees, particularly women's, experience working in the company. Trust in leadership, fairness in workplace decisions, and camaraderie amongst teams were all areas analyzed.

Collaborative Solutions' dedication to its employees has made it an award-winning workplace. To create a richly diverse company, Collaborative's leadership have made thoughtful hiring and promotion decisions resulting in an equal split of males and females at the executive level and throughout the workforce. Additionally, to balance the challenges and demands of consulting projects and personal life, Collaborative offers employees the opportunity to work from home, unlimited PTO, parental leave, and Milk Stork services for traveling moms. The company's framework combined with these programs and an open-door policy, instills trust, loyalty, and enthusiasm from not only the women of Collaborative, but all employees.

"This year, we pledged to close the employee experience gender gap by 2020, and these winning organizations are leading the way in achieving this mission, proving that all companies, regardless of their industry, size, or complexity, can be great workplaces for women," said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. "Empowering women in the workplace isn't just the right thing to do – it's a business imperative. Organizations can create their own equitable cultures by learning from the companies on this list, who get women's buy-in of the mission and inspire them to innovate, driving the entire company forward."
