Vistaprint N.V. a leading online provider of professional marketing products and services to micro businesses and the home, today announced that The Boston Business Journal has, for the sixth time, named Vistaprint one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its eleventh annual regional awards program. This honor recognizes Vistaprint's ability to create a unique company culture that engages its people and inspires excellence.
"We are so honored to once again be named to The Boston Business Journal's list of Best Places to Work in Massachusetts for the sixth time," said Austin Cooke, VP of Human Resources at Vistaprint. "Vistaprint's focus on creating a challenging and rewarding work environment that attracts and retains incredible talent continues to be a catalyst in our success. We are thrilled to be named among other top Massachusetts companies."
"Our Best Places to Work event will again recognize the importance of cultivating a great workplace culture as a competitive advantage," said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. "Companies on our list can be justifiably proud of creating a high level of workplace satisfaction during an economy where traditional rewards like big raises and bonuses aren't as easy to give. In good times and in bad, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages. Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."
The survey project was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm Quantum Workplace of Omaha, NE. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 18,000 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.
Vistaprint was one of over 400 companies to qualify for consideration based on a two-stage nomination process and the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout March & April.
80 companies total in three size categories plus the top 5 in a new category called "PR/Communications," will be awarded during a reception on June 13th at the iconic CitiCenter /Wang Theatre and profiled in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal on June 14th.
