SANTA MONICA, Calif. (PRWEB) May 08, 2020
GumGum, Inc., an artificial intelligence company specializing in solutions for advertising and media, has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual list of the Best Workplaces for 2020. Hitting newsstands May 12 in the May/June 2020 issue, and as part of a prominent Inc.com feature, the list is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits.
Collecting data from more than 3,000 submissions, Inc. singled out 395 finalists for this year’s list. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data. Then we ranked all the employers using a composite score of survey results. This year, 73.5 percent of surveyed employees were engaged by their work.
The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work. These companies are leading the way in employee recognition, performance management, and diversity. It is a different playbook from a decade ago, when too many firms used the same template: free food, open work environments, and artifacts of “fun.”
“We have placed tremendous emphasis on developing an employee experience defined by autonomy, collaboration, opportunity, challenge, risk-taking, authenticity, creativity, thoughtfulness, adaptability, education, and work-life balance,” said GumGum CEO Phil Schraeder. “It is an honor to be recognized for the success of that effort by not only Inc. but by all the amazing GumGum team members whose feedback contributed to this recognition.”
“Building a great corporate culture comes only from strong leadership,” explained Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The companies on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from, especially now, when company culture is more important to the workforce than ever.”
