SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Grokker, the on-demand wellbeing engagement solution, announced that it was named one of the 2020 Fortune 100 Best Small Workplaces. This is Grokker’s first appearance on the prestigious list.
Fortune ranks companies based on confidential employee feedback surveys compiled by research and analytics firm, Great Place to Work®. In addition to the day-to-day experience of working at the company, employees share their sentiments on trust, as well as reaching their full potential as part of the organization.
“I am so proud to see Grokker named a 2020 Best Workplace,” said company founder and CEO Lorna Borenstein. “Grokker helps employers support their workforce through engaged wellbeing while doing the same for our own employees. This recognition further validates our belief that committing to whole person wellbeing benefits employee health and happiness, which ultimately drives the success of the organization.”
Grokker’s survey responses found that 100 percent of the company’s employees say it is a great place to work, compared to only 59 percent of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. The feedback also noted that Grokker employees declare, “We have great company values that make people feel like they are cared about.” With regard to working at Grokker, employee sentiment reinforces the company’s 100 percent positive ratings across all five of the survey’s management aspects, including employee expectations, direct communication, truthfulness, hiring and business operations.
“Best Workplaces like Grokker 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.”
