THE PENTAD GROUP RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE AREA’S  “BEST PLACES TO WORK” BY THE BOSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL

Results based on answers to surveys completed by The Pentad Group employees

BOSTON- The Boston Business Journal today recognized The Pentad Group as one of the greater Boston area’s “Best Places to Work” when it announced its annual ranking of 60 small, midsized, and large companies that are considered the best places to work based on survey responses from employees of the nominated companies. The Pentad Group and staff were honored at an awards breakfast this morning.

“We are really proud of this award because it shows our employees believe in our company, and they are our greatest asset”, said Kate McLellan, Principal.

“This is one of our most popular events because it focuses on both employer and employees,” said Michael Olivieri publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “We have found that achieving the title of ‘Best Place to Work’ is something companies are very proud to achieve because it shows they care about their most important asset – their employees.”

The “Best Places to Work” ranking is based on surveys completed by a substantial number of employees at each nominated company.  The surveys ask questions related to work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, compensation and benefits. This year’s top ranking firms were chosen from xxx nominations – a record number of submissions in the six-year history of the “Best Places to Work.” Companies are grouped based on their number of employees, as large (more than 500 employees), midsize (101-500 local employees) and small (20-100 local employees).
