The latest in Text 100’s Best Places to Work accolades goes to the New York office, with a 7^th place ranking from Crain’s top 50 greatest places to work in New York.  This is kind of a BIG deal.  Crain’s conducted 12,494 employee surveys across various businesses in New York – bars, banks, hotels, law firms, etc…  and pulling in lucky #7 is not only an honor, it’s confirmation that we have a darn good thing going on here.

Let me paint you a picture of how this came to be, and the work involved with Text 100 becoming one of the Best Places to Work.  Firstly, kudos to Jennifer Yu, a former NYC intern, who is coincidentally rejoining Text 100 as an Account Coordinator on December 19^th.  Jennifer brought the opportunity to Jeff Cleveland, who took the lead working with Katie Kelley, and others, to complete the intensive 80-question employer survey.  Let’s pause.  This was no easy feat, and I want to thank you both for your taking this on and putting in the time to make it the best.

Partnering with the Best Companies Group, an independent research firm, Crain’s sent out a confidential 72 question survey that NYC employees completed, asking questions on our benefits, policies, corporate culture, career advancement, and more. The results from the employee survey counted for 75% of the total score, and helped us land our top spot in the rankings.  Thank you to everyone in NYC who participated in this survey!

The honor grew further once Aedhmar was asked to speak at the December 2^nd Crain’s luncheon, where the rankings for the Best Places to Work were revealed.  Text 100 bought a table at the event, allowing for a handful of Texties to be a part of the luncheon.  To select the attendants, Jeff, with the help of Ava Lawler, created a fantastic and challenging quiz about Text 100.  Could you answer, “Which ELT member interviewed Bill Clinton just months before Clinton declared his intention to run for president?”*  The top winners received a seat at the table, and a front row seat to see Text 100 take home top honors of truly being one of the “Best Places to Work in NYC.”

At the end of the day, what does it mean to win these types of awards?  It’s a true reinforcement of our employer brand and collateral demonstrating the type of organization candidates seek.  It’s one thing to say we are a great place to work, but another to be recognized amongst hundreds of NYC employers for being one of the best places to work in the most populous city in the United States.

Let’s raise a glass and cheers to Text 100 and to everyone in New York who helped us rank #7 in Crain’s top 50 Best Places to Work.

*Oh, and it was our very own Scott Friedman, who had good fortune of that Clinton interview!
