RiseSmart named one of 2017's Best Small & Medium Workplaces by Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- RiseSmart, the leading provider of contemporary career transition services, today announced that it has been named one of the 2017 Best Small and Medium Workplaces by Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE. Over 74,000 employees provided input on whether their organization is a great place to work on a consistent basis. RiseSmart earned a top spot on this list based on its employees' assessment of the camaraderie, leadership, fairness, rewards and career opportunities enjoyed by everyone in their workplace. RiseSmart ranked #15 among the winning small businesses.

"Maintaining a strong company culture despite rapid expansion and organizational growth has been top-of-mind since we founded RiseSmart over a decade ago," said RiseSmart Founder, President and CEO, Sanjay Sathe. "Our organization has experienced countless benefits from having an engaged workforce, which is why we've implemented programs like the High Five Program, Roundtable Lunch with the CEO, and RiseSmart Town Halls to create an atmosphere where employees are recognized for their successes and are involved in larger-scale company happenings."

Outstanding small and mid-sized 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.

Survey results indicate that 100% of RiseSmart employees feel that people care about each other within the organization, 99% of employees believe the company has a great work atmosphere, 98% of employees look forward to coming to work and 98% of employees believe they are appropriately challenged.
