15Five Named One of the 2020 Best Small & Medium Workplaces™ by Great Place to Work® and Fortune
Great Place to Work® and Fortune have honored 15Five as one of the 2020 Best Small & Medium Workplaces™. The ranking is based on confidential survey feedback representing more than 189,000 employees working at small- and medium-sized businesses in the United States.
Great Place to Work, a global people analytics and company culture research firm, evaluated more than 60 elements of team members’ experience on the job. These included the extent to which employees trust leaders, the respect with which people are treated, the fairness of workplace decisions, and how much camaraderie there is among the team.
Rankings are based on employees’ feedback and reward companies that best include all employees, no matter who they are or what they do for the organization. 15Five took the 5th spot on the list.
“15Five is proud to be recognized by our people for creating one of the best small/medium workplaces. Our high-trust culture has helped us navigate a difficult 2020,” shared 15Five’s Chief Culture Officer and co-founder, Shane Metcalf.
The Best Small & Medium Workplaces stand out for excelling in one of the nation’s most competitive marketplaces. Specifically, a notable benefit that led to 15Five’s differentiating culture during a year of turmoil is “Best-Self Time,” a time in which employees can use to sign off half-day on Fridays to take care of themselves in either personal learning and development or simply just self care.
“Best Workplaces like 15Five have built dynamic, flexible, and transparent workplaces founded on trust,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “This gives companies on this list a powerful opportunity not just to do well for their people, but also to do well for their businesses.”
The Best Small & Medium Workplaces list is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work and Fortune based on employee feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified™ organizations. 15Five also was ranked as a Best Workplace for Technology, Millennials, Women, and in the Bay Area by Great Place to Work and Fortune.
