The Post-Dispatch Names Connectria Hosting A Winner Of The Greater St. Louis 2016 Top Workplaces Award

ST. LOUIS, June 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Connectria Hosting, a St. Louis-based, global cloud hosting company and founder of the No Jerks Allowed® movement has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by The Post-Dispatch. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

This is the fourth time Connectria has been named a Top Workplace, with an impressive OrgHealth™ rating this year.  OrgHealth is how WorkplaceDynamics evaluates whether a company is likely to succeed in the long term, measuring 1) alignment of the organization, 2) effective organizational execution, 3) a genuine and meaningful connection with employees and 4) effective management of employees.  According to WorkplaceDynamics, employees, above everything else, want to work at companies with high levels of OrgHealth.  For 2016, Connectria's OrgHealth rating was approximately 16% higher than the IT industry average.

"The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it's all about fancy perks and benefits." says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. "But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what's most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it's going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Claffey adds, "Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn't have a shot at being named a Top Workplace."

"Connectria is delighted once again to be named as a Top Workplace," noted Rich Waidmann, Connectria President and CEO.  "Having been founded and headquartered in St. Louis, it's rewarding to be recognized as an organization that stands out among its peers and as a place where employees want to work and thrive."

In addition to being named a Top Workplace for the 4^th time, Connectria recently was named Computerworld's Best Places to Work in IT for the 3^rd consecutive year.
