Three PerkettPR clients were selected as Best Places to Work by the Boston Business Journal
"For the fourth year in a row, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages," said George Donnelly, Boston Business Journal editor. "Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."
The Boston Business Journal recognizes each company's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture. The three PerkettPR clients were chosen from more than 300 companies and earned a top-10 designation based on the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout the spring.
The survey was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm QMR Inc. of Wichita, Kansas. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 20,000 employee-satisfaction surveys. Employees answered questionnaires that addressed such factors as their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning points to each question. Additional event information can be found online at http://events.bizjournals.com/2313.

"We are proud to work with clients like BlueNote (ranked number nine), RightNow Salesnet (ranked number three), and StreamBase (ranked number four), to further promote their excellent business and HR practices through awards such as this. Their philosophies are important to us, and their success is our success."
