Best Places to Work

Winter, Wyman Named One of the Boston Business Journal's "Best Places to Work" for Fourth Consecutive Year

Boston, Mass. (May 1, 2009)— The Boston Business Journal has honored The Winter, Wyman Companies as one of the 2009 Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its annual awards program.   This is the fourth consecutive year that Winter, Wyman has achieved this recognition.  The honor recognizes the company's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.

Waltham-based Winter, Wyman was one of several hundred companies nominated and placed seventh in the midsize category (101-500 employees) based on the results of employee-engagement surveys taken throughout the spring.
 
"With the economy so uncertain, a quality workplace truly is a competitive advantage. Employees respond to a flexible yet challenging culture and company leaders who lead by example," said Boston Business Journal Editor George Donnelly. "Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."
 
The 2009 Best Places to Work project 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 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.
 
"The Best Places to Work are companies that invest in their employees, foster a positive work setting and exhibit a team oriented environment," said Boston Business Journal Publisher Michael Olivieri. "These leaders understand that employees are the foundation of the company, and the engine that drives the business forward. It creates a tangible difference with the competition."
