Cypress Communications ranks 17 on Atlanta magazines list of 40 Best Places to Work.
Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 24, 2008 - Cypress Communications proudly announces that it has been selected as one of Atlantas Best Places to Work according to a survey conducted by Atlanta magazine. Out of 176 nominees, 100 finalists and the ultimate list of 40 best workplaces, Cypress Communications ranked #17.
Atlanta magazine asked employees from across Atlanta the eternal question: "Do you love your job?" Cypress Communications' employees answered with a resounding "yes" by nominating the company and then ranking it on topics ranging from compensation to professional development. Best workplace rankings were calculated using employee nominations and survey responses.
"This is an exciting time to be at Cypress Communications. There's an electrifying current of innovation and a collaborative spirit that just cant be beat," said Steve Schilling, president and chief executive officer at Cypress Communications. "Our employees are instrumental in our success—their dedication to their work, commitment to our customers and drive to succeed are like none other. It is a truly gratifying experience to be surrounded by such a phenomenal group of people."
"We are honored to be listed among Atlanta's Best Places to Work and extend our warmest congratulations to this years other honorees," Schilling continued.
To begin compiling the list, Atlanta magazine solicited nominations through their Web site. Between August 2007 and January 2008, over 700 employees nominated 176 workplaces throughout Atlanta, ranking the validity of twenty statements to determine job satisfaction levels. From the 176 nominations, the list was narrowed to 100 by averaging scores. For each of the 100 companies, employees ranked statements on a variety of topics. In total, 5,201 employees participated. The results were averaged and combined with the points earned from the profile form to determine the top 40.
Rebecca Burns, editor in chief at Atlanta magazine, said, "What is common across all these companies is attention to employee welfare and creating an environment where people feel invested in their jobs. Our survey is unique because nominations came from employees, not management. Thats a testament to how successful these forty employers are at generating workplaces people love."
"We are very pleased that our employees were motivated to spotlight Cypress as a great place to work," said Mark Herold, vice president of human resources at Cypress Communications. "We aim to provide a challenging yet rewarding work environment, and employee commitment and engagement is something that we do not take for granted."
