AccuRev Places in Boston Business Journal’s Fourth Annual ‘Best Places to Work in Massachusetts’

The Boston Business Journal has named AccuRev Inc. one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its fourth annual regional awards program. The honor recognizes AccuRev’s achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.

Lexington-based AccuRev was one of more than 300 companies to qualify for consideration, making the top 20 list in its size category based on the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout the spring.

Renissa Becker, Manager, Human Resources at AccuRev said, “AccuRev has grown considerably in the past year and this honor is a tribute to our ability to maintain a strong commitment to our employees and offer a dynamic and fun work environment. We are honored to be recognized by the area’s leading business journal as one of our size category’s top 20 Best Places to Work in Massachusetts.”

Becker continued, “This honor will also help AccuRev in its latest recruitment efforts for solid software engineers as competition for excellent talent in today’s economy remains high.”

George Donnelly, Boston Business Journal editor said, “For the fourth year in a row, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages.”

Donnelly continued, “Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business.”

The top 20 companies in four size categories - emerging (10-24 employees), small (25-100 employees), midsize (101-500 employees) and large (more than 500 employees) - will be profiled in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal to be published on June 23, 2006. A countdown celebration breakfast will be held on June 22 to announce the final rankings - including the top company in each category.

The survey project itself was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm QMR Inc. of Wichita, Kansas. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 20,000 employee-satisfaction surveys.

Employees answered questionnaires that addressed such factors as their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning points to each question.

“Accommodating employees’ personal needs pays back dividends of loyalty and productivity,” said Boston Business Journal Publisher Michael Olivieri. “The companies on our list recognize that their commitment to employees is especially important as the economy strengthens and competition for talent continues to grow.”

Olivieri continued, “The Best Places to work know the care of their employees is instrumental in maintaining the quality and reputation for services and products.”
