Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading provider of strategic end-to-end human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today that it has been named the #1 medium company to work for in America for the second consecutive year by the Great Place to Work Institute (GPTW), the same research and management consultancy that produces FORTUNE’s “100 Best Companies to Work for” list for large companies, and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). A family-like culture, unique benefits, and a down-to-earth management style contribute to the cohesive, productive business environment at Ultimate.
No other company has ever been recognized as the #1 place to work twice in the medium company rankings. This is the fifth consecutive year that Ultimate has been ranked in the top eight. The “Top 50 Best Small & Medium Companies to Work for in America” for 2009 were announced today in New Orleans at SHRM’s 61st Annual Conference & Exposition.
“We are honored to be ranked the number one medium company to work for again. Taking care of our people is the cornerstone of all that we do at Ultimate, and our people have rewarded us by creating a first-rate suite of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for human capital management and by providing our customers with world-class service,” said Scott Scherr, Ultimate’s founder, president, and CEO. “We are grateful to have a business culture driven by a passion for excellence, respect, and honor, and that combination has given us a significant competitive edge in our industry.”
Hundreds of companies across the United States submitted entries in the very detailed and competitive analysis conducted by GPTW. The rankings are primarily determined from employee opinion surveys that analyze an organization’s workplace culture. Employee-survey responses count for two-thirds of an organization’s score. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organization practices and perspectives from the leadership team, which accounted for one-third of the group’s score.
