DataFox is One of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces 2018
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) May 23, 2018 -- DataFox, the leading company intelligence provider, has been named one of Inc. magazine’s Best Workplaces for 2018, the publication’s third annual ranking in the fast-growing private company sector.
Hitting newsstands today in the June 2018 issue, and as part of a prominent Inc.com feature, the award is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private American companies who have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits. Out of thousands of applicants, Inc. singled out just under 300 winning companies.
What does it take to become a company that workers want to be part of? Inc. magazine says it’s more than good pay and good perks – it’s also about having a clear purpose, a sense of humor, and solid leadership that makes them all work together.
Based on employee engagement, DataFox scored within the top 94 percent of small companies surveyed, outscoring peers in the broader Software and Information Technology categories (94 versus 88 percent). Additional highlights include:
● 90 percent of the team sees professional growth and career development opportunities within the company
● 97 percent of the team agree that the senior leadership team value ‘people’ as their most important resource
● 100 percent of the team agrees that DataFox fosters an inclusive environment, where everyone is treated fairly regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or disability
Bastiaan Janmaat, co-founder and chief executive officer of DataFox, commented, “We’re incredibly proud of the team we’ve built here at DataFox and are fortunate to work with such a talented, collaborative and committed group. Our positive and authentic company culture results from a dedication to continually grow and learn together, challenge and support each other, and live our values on a daily basis. In every sense of the word, we’ve seen amazing growth in the last year. We are energized to continue growing, helping our team to thrive, and fostering an engaging and inclusive culture.”
The 2018 Inc. Best Workplaces Awards assessed applicants on the basis of benefits offered and employees’ responses to a unique, 30-question survey fielded by each of the applying companies. Responses were evaluated by the research team at Quantum Workplace. For its results to qualify, each company had to achieve a statistically significant response rate based on employee count. Survey scores account for employer size to level the playing field between small and large businesses. All companies had to have minimum of 10 employees and to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent – that is, not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies.
While researching the entries, Inc. and Quantum saw distinct themes develop:
● Strong company cultures breed stunning individual and team performance.
● Workers at the best companies aren’t mesmerized by whatever giveaways seem to be the latest fad—be it gourmet lunches or beer fridges. They care about more than perks.
● When employees feel valued by their organization, they are far more likely to be engaged. This single factor proved to be one of the largest drivers of employee engagement.
“By including an employee survey into this year’s Best Workplaces selection process, we’ve really raised the bar. Companies that don’t score at the very top of their peer group don’t make the cut. So, our hats are off to the winners. They all excelled at engaging their workers, making them feel appreciated, and aligning them behind a mission. And remember, that’s not just our opinion: The employees told us that themselves,” says James Ledbetter, Inc. editor-in-chief.
