Rightpoint Named Winner of The Chicago Area 2015 Top Workplaces Award from Chicago Tribune
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) November 13, 2015 -- Rightpoint, a leading technology and design services company, has been awarded a 2015 Top Workplaces honor by the Chicago Tribune. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together." Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
This is the second year in a row Rightpoint has been named a Top Workplace by the Chicago Tribune. For the past five years, the company has experienced consistent 35% year-over-year growth. In May 2015, Rightpoint secured a $55 million investment from Stella Point Capital to fuel geographic expansion, grow capabilities in key areas including digital marketing and CRM and augment professional services with product-based solutions. Despite rapid growth, Rightpoint has been able to hold onto its original culture—a tough task for any growing company.
“We put a lot of thought and energy into creating an environment that encourages creativity, innovation, and ultimately helps bring our best thinking to bear,” said Rightpoint Co-founder Brad Schneider. “While our culture is our collective responsibility, we also have a team of rotating Rightpoint team members who purposefully think about and implement new ideas relating to our culture; it’s called the Culture Club. This helps ensure we nurture what is uniquely us, even in times of change.”
