The honor recognizes the 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. Company in Top 20 for Mid-Sized Companies; Results Based on Employee Surveys
Hamilton, Bermuda (PRWEB) May 24, 2007 -- VistaPrint Limited (Nasdaq:VPRT), the leading online supplier of high-quality graphic design services and customized printed products to small businesses and consumers, today announced the Boston Business Journal has honored its wholly-owned subsidiary VistaPrint USA, Incorporated as one of the 2007 Best Places to Work in Massachusetts. The honor recognizes the 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.
"We are very pleased to have been named a Best Place to Work by the Boston Business Journal," said Anne Drapeau, chief people officer at VistaPrint. "This award is so valuable because it is based on our employees' thoughts about the company and gives us a good indication we're succeeding in providing a challenging and rewarding work environment. We have grown a tremendous amount over the past year -- a 53% increase in our headcount in Lexington -- and will continue to strive to be a great place to work."
VistaPrint, a Bermuda company whose US operations are based in Lexington, MA, was one of 328 companies nominated, a 40 percent increase in nominees over 2006, and made the top 20 list in the midsize category based on the results of employee-engagement surveys taken throughout the spring. The company most recently moved into a state of the art facility at 95 Hayden Avenue, more than tripling the size of its former offices at 100 Hayden Avenue.
"With the hiring market so tight, a quality workplace truly is a competitive advantage. Employees respond to a flexible yet challenging culture and company leaders who lead by example," said Boston Business Journal Editor George Donnelly. "Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."
The top 20 companies in three size categories -- small (20-100 employees), midsize (101-500 employees) and large (more than 500 employees) -- will be listed in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal to be published on June 22, 2007. The supplement will also provide insight into the three distinct leadership styles of the No. 1 companies: From training and promotions to taking a personal interest in employees, these top presidents and CEOs share their strategies for improving morale and maintaining low turnover.
A countdown celebration breakfast will be held on June 22 to announce the final rankings, including the 2007 No. 1 Best Place Work in each category.
The 2007 Best Places to Work project 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 25,000 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.
