Terminal Named a Best Place to Work by Inc. Magazine

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Terminal, a company that builds world-class remote engineering teams for high-growth tech companies, has been named to Inc. magazine's annual list of the Best Workplaces for 2020. The list is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement and stellar benefits.

"At Terminal, we work hard to connect innovative companies with incredible talent across the world," said Jennifer Farris, Chief People Officer at Terminal. "Our workforce is at the very heart of this mission – their passion, empathy and motivation drive the success of Terminal and our customers. And now more than ever, we want to support them with an environment that provides growth and opportunity. Winning this award, based on the team's feedback, is incredible validation that our company is making a difference. It shines a light on the amazing culture we've built and the impact we're making every day."

Collecting data from more than 3,000 submissions, Inc. singled out 395 finalists for this year's list. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data. Then we ranked all the employers using a composite score of survey results. This year, 73.5 percent of surveyed employees were engaged by their work.

The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work. These companies are leading the way in employee recognition, performance management, and diversity. It is a different playbook from a decade ago, when too many firms used the same template: free food, open work environments, and artifacts of "fun."

In the current landscape of employees adapting to the new norm of working from home, Terminal has deepened its focus on helping employees create customized workspaces while navigating the mental health challenges of isolation to make remote work more effective. The company has rolled out new programs to help its employees and members navigate this stressful time:

• A COVID-19 Relief Program provides remote educational programs and stipends to put toward building out a home office 
• Mental health support with premium access to the Headspace Meditation app
• Ongoing learning & development fund, with credits to ensure employees can take online classes or attend virtual conferences from home
• Programs for parents to school and entertain their children
• Weekly happy hours and lunches to deepen community

"Building a great corporate culture comes only from strong leadership," says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "The companies on Inc.'s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from, especially now, when company culture is more important to the workforce than ever."
