Slalom Consulting Earns Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award as One of the Top 50 Best Places to Work in 2012
SEATTLE, Dec. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to great employers, the employees know best. Glassdoor, a jobs and career community where people share workplace insights, has announced its fourth annual Employees' Choice Awards, revealing this year's top 50 "Best Places to Work," derived from surveys collected from U.S.-based employees in 2011. Slalom Consulting has been recognized as one of the top 50 Best Places to Work, a significant achievement, since nearly 150,000 companies are rated by their employees on Glassdoor.
"Glassdoor's Employees' Choice Awards recognize stand-out companies that have retained the support and commitment of their employees despite the tough economic climate," said Robert Hohman, co-founder and CEO of Glassdoor. "Through anonymous employee reviews and surveys, Glassdoor offers a unique look into the top U.S. employers and some of the factors that make employees at these companies more satisfied with their jobs. For companies on the list, we typically get positive feedback on the company culture, benefits and open communication practices while we also tend to see competitive pay packages and high opinions of the chief executive."
In addition to its overall award, Slalom was also ranked in the Top 25 Best Companies for Work-Life Balance, as well as in the Top 25 for Companies with the Best Career Opportunities.
"At Slalom, we believe in what we do just as much as how we do it. We share our business and technology expertise to help our customers realize operational and performance excellence by creating an empowered environment for their employees while bringing to market innovative products and services," said John Tobin, National General Manager and Founder of Slalom Consulting. "Slalom truly cares for our customers and the success of their businesses and we feel the same regard for our employees. We have a unique locally-based model that allows our employees to drive results without sacrificing our fun, caring culture. This honor from Glassdoor is a testament to our model working and that our employees recognize the Slalom difference."
Glassdoor's Employees' Choice Awards rely solely on the input of employees, who provide constructive feedback on their work environment and senior management throughout the year via an anonymous survey. The survey addresses eight key workplace factors: work/life balance; career opportunities; communication; compensation and benefits; fairness and respect; employee morale; recognition and feedback; and senior leadership. The ranking of the top 50 list was determined by each company's overall Glassdoor rating, which is the cumulative average rating from employees who elected to participate in a 20-question survey between December 1, 2010, and November 23, 2011.
