SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. & DUBLIN – October 12, 2016 – Globoforce^®, a leading provider of social recognition solutions, today announced it was named one of the country’s Best Small and Medium Workplaces by consulting firm Great Place to Work^® and Fortune Magazine. The company was ranked #80 in the medium-sized business category for its commitment to recognizing its employees for exemplary achievements, behaviors and for promoting a more human workplace. “Globoforce is committed to helping companies build great workplaces, and this same philosophy is deeply ingrained in our own company culture,” said Eric Mosley, CEO of Globoforce. “Every day we recognize and celebrate our employees for their work and achievements, and we are honored to be similarly recognized by Great Place to Work and Fortune. We thank our incredible employees who passionately exemplify our core values on a daily basis and continuously strive to create an optimal employee experience with a fantastic work environment at Globoforce.

Its internal program, Globostars, recognizes employee performance that aligns to the company’s core values of Imagination, Determination, Innovation and Respect. The program connects its employees every day and empowers and inspires them to recognize each other for outstanding performance and behaviors. The company pioneered the WorkHuman^® movement, created to galvanize leaders and organizations worldwide to harness the transformative power of people for the next generation of HR. “There’s a generosity of spirit that infuses the Best Small and Medium workplaces—one that has a measurable return,” said Kim Peters, executive vice president of Great Place to Work. “Whether it’s funding employee ‘passion projects’ or giving surprise gifts to customers, the best workplaces give it away. And they get it back in the form of inspired people who innovate harder and generate higher revenue.” Globoforce won this accolade based on employees’ anonymous responses to an extensive survey about their levels of trust, pride and camaraderie at work. Great Place to Work^® reviewed the survey results of more than 52,000 employees from hundreds of companies in the ranking process. Among its findings, the study indicates trust fuels business performance. For example, the Best Small and Medium Workplaces enjoy roughly three times the revenue growth of their peers, even as they provide a better experience for their people. The Best Small and Medium Workplaces is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work and Fortune based upon employee survey feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified^TM organizations. The rankings will be published in the November issue of Fortune. About Great Place to Work®Great Place to Work^® is the global authority on high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures.
