Outside Magazine Names BoomTown as one of America’s Best Places to Work in 2013
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) August 01, 2013 -- BoomTown, a fast growing, web-based software company that offers a robust online marketing system for real estate professionals, was named to Outside Magazine's sixth annual “Best Places to Work” list today. BoomTown was ranked No.32 out of 100 selected companies. The full list of the top-ten-performing small, medium, and large companies will be published online on August 1 at OutsideOnline.com/bestplacestowork.
Outside’s “Best Places to Work” project celebrates the innovative companies setting a new standard for a healthy work-life balance. The list was compiled with the help of the Outdoor Industry Association and Best Companies Group. The year-long selection process began with an outreach effort that identified a wide range of nonprofit and for-profit organizations with at least 15 employees working in an office in the United States. Participating companies were sent confidential employee satisfaction surveys and employer questionnaires to collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs. The experts at the Best Companies Group then analyzed the results and selected the companies that best enable employees to pursue active lifestyles while also supporting their social and environmental contributions.
This year’s “Best Places To Work” list will highlight not only the Top 100 companies, but will also spotlight those on the list that offer the best perks, including “Fitness-Friendly” companies, those with the most liberal “Flex Time” policies, the “Best Travel Perks”, and those with the “Best Office Culture.”
“As a young company, we made the decision early on to invest in a dynamic, innovative Wellness program complete with rich benefits,” said Rebecca Guthrie, Director of Operations. “Our team members immediately embraced our 'Work Hard, Play Hard, Rest Hard' philosophy and the concept of Wellness began to take on a life of its own. To be included in the ranks of companies like Patagonia and New Belgium Brewing is truly an honor. But, it also does not hurt that we are headquartered close to the beaches in Conde Nast’s ‘Top City in the World,’ Charleston, South Carolina.”
"We're proud to publicize the efforts of these 100 companies," said Outside editor Christopher Keyes. "They each show a real commitment to creating active, healthy work environments and put a premium on innovative benefits. Year after year, Outside's Best Places to Work program demonstrates that America's most successful companies are the ones that consistently promote true work-life balance for their employees."
