When it comes to great employers, the employees know best. Glassdoor,
a jobs and career community where people share workplace insights, has
announced its fourth annual Employees’ Choice Awards, revealing this
year’s top 50 "Best
Places to Work,” based on surveys collected from U.S.-based
employees in 2011. Citrix
Systems has been recognized as one of the top 50 Best Places to
Work, a significant achievement, as nearly 150,000 companies are rated
by their employees on Glassdoor.
"Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Awards recognize stand-out companies that
have retained the support and commitment of their employees despite the
tough economic climate,” said Robert Hohman, co-founder and CEO of
Glassdoor. "Through anonymous employee reviews and surveys, Glassdoor
offers a unique look into the top U.S. employers and some of the factors
that make employees at these companies more satisfied with their jobs.
For companies on the list, we typically get positive feedback on the
company culture, benefits and open communication practices while we also
tend to see competitive pay packages and high opinions of the chief
executive.”
Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Awards rely solely on the input of
employees, who provide constructive feedback on their work environment
and senior management throughout the year via an anonymous survey. The
survey addresses eight key workplace factors that include work/life
balance, career opportunities, communication, compensation and benefits,
fairness and respect, employee morale, recognition and feedback, and
senior leadership. The ranking of the top 50 list was determined by each
company’s overall Glassdoor rating, which is the cumulative average
rating from employees who elected to participate in a 20-question survey
between December 1, 2010 and November 23, 2011.
"It is wonderful to see employees feeling so good about the environment
we strive to create - a better way to work and live,” said Mark
Templeton, president and CEO, Citrix Systems. "I am proud of our
employees for their belief in our vision and commitment to excellence,
both of which significantly contribute to making Citrix a great place to
work.”
