Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE name ReliaQuest one of Top 100 Best Medium Workplaces of 2017
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ReliaQuest, a leading provider of IT security solutions, was named one of the 2017 Best Workplaces by Great Place to Work and Fortune Magazine. This honor recognizes ReliaQuest's commitment to building a strong culture that can sustain the company's rapid growth.
This ranking considered 74,000 surveys from employees at hundreds of businesses in all sectors of the economy. ReliaQuest earned a spot on this list based on employees' assessments of the camaraderie, leadership, fairness, rewards and career opportunities enjoyed by all in their workplace. ReliaQuest ranked 63rd among the 100 winning medium organizations.
"It's exciting that ReliaQuest is known as somewhere talented individuals can come to learn, grow and build a career that they're proud of," said ReliaQuest CEO Brian Murphy. "This is the driving force behind ReliaQuest's success: our talented team members and the willingness to keep asking ourselves: 'How good can we be?'"
Given the company's rapid growth and global impact, it is vital that ReliaQuest's employees remain connected, supported, and aligned with the company's direction. ReliaQuest has invested significant time, energy and resources into employee-development programs, such as its continuous training through ReliaQuest University. ReliaQuest's positive culture helps the company maintain an employee retention rate above 90 percent – a metric that is increasingly important as the IT security industry grows and evolves.
Outstanding employers – as identified by their employees – are substantially more likely to report work experiences linked to retention, innovation and good customer service, according to research by Great Place to Work. The winning organizations also are more likely than their peers to maintain a healthy organizational culture as they grow larger and more complex.
"The Best Small & Medium workplaces are laying the groundwork for future success by building trust, cooperation and leadership credibility. All of these enhance business performance and create a positive environment for doing business," said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.
The Best Small & Medium Workplaces is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE based on research into employee feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified™ organizations.
ReliaQuest has been consistently honored for its positive workplace and commitment to its positive company culture. In August, ReliaQuest was certified as a national "Great Place to Work," with a 95 percent workplace satisfaction rate among its growing ranks of highly sought-after IT security professionals. In September, ReliaQuest was a bronze winner for the 2017 Stevie Awards for Great Employers.
