CARY, N.C., Sept. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cicero Inc. (OTCBB:CICN), a leading provider of desktop automation and integration solutions, announced today that it was ranked as the Triangle's third best small company to work in the latest annual Triangle Business Journal survey. The company attributes its high ranking in the company employee survey conducted by Quantum Market Research to a corporate culture that genuinely embraces employee interaction at every level in an open, family-focused atmosphere that continues to its partners and customers.
Cicero understands how important it is in the current economy to keep a positive morale around the workplace. To help achieve this goal, Cicero focuses on staff and their benefits. Cicero also understands the importance of family both inside and outside the office and fosters the concept of personal time off in order to reduce stress. The entire staff retains their family-like connection by celebrating individual birthdays and hosting several teambuilding events each year such as "competitive" social functions and informal activities, including birthday celebrations, miniature golf, go-cart racing, "March Madness" and Durham Bulls baseball games among others.
In order to build upon its already productive work environment in the coming year, Cicero will implement a new professional development plan to improve efficiency of employee training and mentoring. In addition, Cicero has established a goal to streamline communications across the organization, particularly for employees working remotely throughout the U.S.
"Eighty-seven Triangle businesses registered for Best Places to Work this year, and to be voted the third best small company is truly exciting and a testament to the constructive work environment we have strived to create and maintain," said Cicero, Inc. CEO John Broderick. "As a software business focused on customer satisfaction, we understand that a work environment that nurtures individuality and positivity is contagious and we are able to differentiate ourselves with our customers and prospects."
