BOULDER, CO (PRWEB) August 03, 2013 -- Global Works | Travel with Purpose was named to Outside Magazine’s sixth annual “Best Places to Work” list. Global Works | Travel with Purpose was ranked No. 22 out of 100 selected companies. The full list is published online 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 yearlong selection process began with an outreach effort that identified a wide range of non-profit 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 “Best Benefits”, and the “Best Social/Environmentally Responsible” organizations. The list will also pinpoint the companies based on location, highlighting the “Best Places To Work” in the West, the Mountains, the Midwest and South, and the Northeast.

Global Works' Director, Polly Moriarty, says it best: "I started working for Global Works in 1998 and was immediately drawn to the supportive, family-like environment. Fifteen years later, I am so proud to continue to be a part of an organization that inspires social change and global citizenship!"

“We’re thrilled to celebrate all 100 of these forward-thinking companies,” says Michael Roberts, Senior Executive Editor of Outside. “They believe success depends on helping their employees live more active and fulfilling lives. The kinds of benefits they’re providing—free fitness classes, flexible hours, subsidized healthy meals, lots of time out of the office—result in a more productive and engaged staff.”

Global Works strives to provide young adults with rewarding service, language learning, and adventure travel programs, which foster personal growth and promote social and cultural awareness for each participant and the communities involved. The company organizes and runs custom group trips for colleges/universities and high schools as well as high school summer programs to more than 20 countries worldwide, including trips focused on sustainable business practices and public health in developing countries.
