Bizo Named One of the “Best Places to Work” by San Francisco Business Times

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2014

Bizo, the global leader in business audience marketing, today announced it was named as one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s “Best Places to Work” by The San Francisco Business Times. The company was recognized for the incredibly collaborative, humble, driven, and hilarious people who work there and share the same high standards for integrity and exceptional work. Bizo employees, also known as Bizonians, live by four key tenets: be honest, be open, be trustworthy, be fun.

“Culture is as important to a company’s health as any financial indicator -- it’s the single best predictor of long-term performance and viability. With this in mind, building a great culture is and always has been our first priority,” said Russell Glass, CEO of Bizo, “When you focus on bringing smart, enthusiastic people into the organization that are not only a fit in terms of experience and growth potential but are people you just enjoy being around, you’re building a great company. We are honored to be recognized as one of the Bay Area’s best places to work and look forward to 2014 being another record year for our employees and Bizo.”

The San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal 2014 “Best Places to Work” list was determined by survey results provided voluntarily from company employees, highlighting employee satisfaction based on a number of key areas. The survey included questions about personal growth, morale, workplace satisfaction and managerial effectiveness. Bizo, founded in 2008, works with over 750 brands including UPS, American Express, Mercedes-Benz and Microsoft. The company continued its high growth trajectory in 2013, including growing the company headcount 70% to more than 130 employees.

Some of the many reasons Bizo was recognized include:

• Hire the best: To enrich and maintain the company’s culture, Bizo hires only those who embody the company values: excellence, humility, humor and Co-Founder Donnie Flood’s favorite, “getting sh*t done.”
• Less than 1% turnover rate: Bizo was founded by five co-founders, none of which have left. In fact, no member of the executive team has ever left Bizo.
• Encourages work flexibility: The company encourages employees to work remotely when desired and has the systems to support remote working. Face time is not required.
• Career development opportunities: Bizo makes big bets on its employees and encourages promoting from within the organization. The majority of Bizonians have taken on new or expanded roles over time, with many moving into management.
• Company-wide all-hands meetings: Twice a year all employees come together in San Francisco for three fun days focused on reinforcing corporate culture and streamlining processes and company strategy.
• All the perks: Bizo takes pride in rewarding its employees with unlimited vacation, gourmet lunches, and an annual “Rock The House Award” - where a lucky Bizonian gets one of their bucket list items paid for by Bizo.

Bizo has also recently been awarded one of America's Most Promising Companies by Forbes, a CODiE Finalist for Bizo Multi-Channel Nurturing as well named to San Francisco Business Times Fast 100 for the third year in a row and recognized by Inc. Magazine in the Hire Power awards.
