ROCKVILLE, Md., June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmes today
announced that it was selected as one of the best places to work in
the greater Washington
area. The Washington Post's 2020 Top
Workplaces list ranked private, public, nonprofit and
government agencies based on the highest engagement ratings from
their employees.
The Washington Post partnered with employee research
and consulting firm Energage, LLC, to conduct the survey, and the
highest ranked workplaces were chosen based on employee responses
about their own company. There were 3,500 area companies
invited to participate, and 406 were surveyed. This is the seventh
year the survey has been conducted.
The Top Area Workplace awards, which are based solely on
employee survey feedback, honored 200 organizations as Top
Workplaces. Emmes was selected in the large company category,
which ranges from 500 to 999 employees. The list, along with
stories about how employees have coped during the pandemic, will be
featured in a special Top Workplaces magazine on October
14. The rankings in each category – small, midsize, large and
a new category, largest – will be shared at that time.
"This is the fourth time we've been included in this prestigious
awards list," said Dr. Anne
Lindblad, president and chief executive officer of
Emmes. The fact that the rankings are based on an independent
survey of employee opinions about our company makes this even more
meaningful."
She added, "It's a privilege to have so many employees committed
to making Emmes a great place to work and to making it a daily
commitment to reflect our mission, vision and values. The
health crisis this year has made our work even more critical, and
our team is playing an instrumental role in supporting the clinical
trials that will help bring COVID-19 therapies and vaccines to
market."
