Boston Business Journal Honors Veson Nautical as a 2011 Best Places to Work Winner
The Boston Business Journal has named Veson Nautical one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its ninth annual regional awards program. The honor recognizes Veson Nautical’s achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.
Veson Nautical was one of over 320 companies to qualify for consideration based on a two-stage nomination process and the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout April.
“This award is a true honor, especially since it is based on the anonymous feedback of our team," remarked John D. Veson, President of Veson Nautical. “From the onset, a core part of our values and strategy has been to build a business where we can work with smart, creative people in a high performance and fun environment. A major part of success and personal fulfillment is loving what you do and enjoying your time at work. I want everyone, including me, who works at Veson to feel happy, challenged and inspired every day. We are thrilled to be recognized in this category.”
“Our Best Places to Work event recognizes the importance of cultivating a great workplace culture as a competitive advantage," said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. "Companies on our list can be justifiably proud of creating a high level of workplace satisfaction during an economy where traditional rewards like big raises and bonuses aren't as easy to give. In good times and in bad, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages. Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business.”
The survey project was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm Quantum Workplace of Omaha, NE. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 18,000 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.
The top 25 companies in three size categories — small (20-100 employees), midsize (101-500 employees) and large (more than 500 employees) — will be awarded during a lively breakfast on June 9th at the BCEC and profiled in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal published on June 10, 2011.
