Magazine honors the best employers in Massachusetts
BOSTON – November 20, 2020 – Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA) has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the 13th annual employee-based survey project from the Boston Globe.
“This recognition is a testament to our exceptional staff, whose dedication is the foundation of our values and culture,” said Christopher D. Palmieri, president and CEO of Commonwealth Care Alliance. “Because of their passion and commitment, we are able to fulfill and advance our mission to improve the health and well-being of individuals with significant medical, behavioral health, and social needs. It is especially meaningful to receive this honor during the pandemic as it highlights the tireless, creative, and courageous efforts of our entire staff in making a huge difference for the members and patients we so proudly serve.”
Top Places to Work recognizes the most admired workplaces in the state, voted on by the people who know them best—their employees. The survey measures employee opinions about their company’s direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay and benefits, and engagement. The employers are placed into one of four groups: small, with 50 to 99 employees; medium, with 100 to 249 workers; large, with 250 to 999; and largest, with 1,000 or more.
“This was a particularly challenging year to be a great place to work, and the companies that made our list went above and beyond to keep their employees safe, engaged, and cared for,” said Katie Johnston, the Globe’s Top Places to Work editor. “From offering help with childcare to making the workplace more equitable to holding virtual talent shows, these employers showed that the best get better in crisis.”
The rankings in Top Places to Work are based on confidential survey information collected by Energage (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from more than 80,000 individuals at 285 Massachusetts organizations. The winners share a few key traits, including offering progressive benefits, giving their employees a voice, and encouraging them to have some fun while they’re at it.
Top Places to Work online extras include sortable rankings and features such as showcasing companies that are going the extra mile to make their workplaces more equitable and to help employees connect with one another, and their communities, during the pandemic.
