ELIASSEN GROUP HONORED IN BOSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL'S 2ND ANNUAL "BEST PLACES TO WORK IN MASSACHUSETTS" REPORT
WAKEFIELD, MA - (June 23, 2004) - For the second straight year, Eliassen Group, Inc. (www.eliassen.com), a leader in the IT/software solution and staffing industry, has been named among the top fifty "Best Places to Work in Massachusetts," in the Boston Business Journal's second annual statewide awards program. The award recognizes Eliassen Group's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of benefits, working conditions and company culture.
Wakefield-based Eliassen Group, one of 3,000 companies polled, makes the top 50 list based on the strength of its benefits, programs and employee evaluations. "The company is very proud of its employees and we're proud to be a winner of this award for the second year in a row," said Eliassen Group founder and chief executive officer Mona Eliassen.
"Our results validate how the creation of the right work environment can create powerful business advantages," said George Donnelly, Boston Business Journal editor. Donnelly continued, "Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."
The top fifty companies were profiled in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal issued on May 28th, and will be entitled to use the 2004 seal in advertising and public relations outreach. The awards program was launched in March with a direct mailing to over 3,000 human resource managers across the state; e-mail and fax announcements, phone calls, as well as through advertisements in the paper and on the web site.
Companies were evaluated on two kinds of information collected. Each completed a questionnaire about retirement plans, health insurance, profit sharing or stock options, performance-based reviews, employee training, paternity leave, and perks such as parking, childcare, subsidized transportation or tuition reimbursement.
Ten or more employees then answered questionnaires that addressed such factors as their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement, and relationships with coworkers and supervisors. Other questions asked about favorite and least favorite things about the company. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning points to each question.
"Accommodating employees' personal needs pays back dividends of loyalty and productivity," noted BBJ publisher Mike Olivieri. "The companies on our list recognized that the commitment to employees is especially important in a down economy."
Olivieri continued, "The top fifty best places to work are all winners because they acknowledged that the care of their employees is instrumental in maintaining the quality and reputation for services and products."
"We strive to be open and innovative," said Mona Eliassen, "and we are proud to be recognized by the area's leading business journal as one of the top fifty Best Places to Work in Massachusetts."
