Employee trust in the workplace is the leading factor for great workplaces
Decision Lens was named by Great Place to Work® as one of the best small and medium workplaces in the United States on their annual 2013 Best Small & Medium Workplaces list, published today in FORTUNE magazine. This is the second time in the past 3 years that Decision Lens has received this honor. Divided into two categories, Small (50-250 employees) and Medium (251-999 employees), the list has recognized companies with exceptional workplace cultures for the past ten years.
Competing against hundreds of companies across the country, Decision Lens participated in a rigorous selection process, which included an employee survey and an in-depth questionnaire about benefits programs and company practices. Great Place to Work® evaluates each application using its unique methodology based on five dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
In compiling the list, Great Place to Work has found that employees believe they work for great organizations when they consistently trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with.
“Our culture at Decision Lens is inspired by acknowledging the fact that the office is our employees home away from home so the more we can create an environment that makes employees enjoy being at work each day the better results we’ll have as a business and as a team,” said John Kealey, CEO of Decision Lens. “Our commitment to upholding these values, encouraging our employees to feel comfortable sharing their opinions and creating an enjoyable place to work creates the foundation for our ‘best company’ work culture.”
To keep employees inspired Decision Lens sponsors outings to off-site activities including the Hubble Space Telescope operations center for a special tour not usually offered to the public and an athletic shoe store where everyone was treated to a pair of running shoes.
“The companies appearing on our Best Small & Medium Workplaces list help us achieve our mission by presenting others with an example to emulate. These companies demonstrate that being an excellent employer leads to business success, ” said Robert Levering, CEO and Co-founder of Great Place to Work®. “While these companies may be relatively small in headcount, many of them provide services to some of the country’s largest and most notable organizations, suggesting that success has not so much to do with size as with the quality of service and experience a company provides. A great workplace, full of great employees, is better equipped to achieve that success.”
Organizations named on the list see many benefits that include better financial performance, less employee turnover, higher levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty, more innovative and creative thinking, higher productivity and enhanced public perception.
