MaidPro Honored in Boston Business Journal's Fifth Annual "Best Places to Work"
Boston Business Journal • June, 2007

The Boston Business Journal has honored MaidPro as one of the 2007 Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its fifth annual awards program. The honor recognizes the company's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.

The Boston-based MaidPro was one of 328 companies nominated -- a 40 percent increase in nominees over 2006 -- and made the top 20 list in its size category based on the results of employee-engagement surveys taken throughout the spring.

"With the hiring market so tight, a quality workplace truly is a competitive advantage. Employees respond to a flexible yet challenging culture and company leaders who lead by example," said Boston Business Journal Editor George Donnelly. "Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."

The top 20 companies in three size categories -- small (20-100 employees), midsize (101-500 employees) and large (more than 500 employees) -- will be listed in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal to be published on June 22, 2007. The supplement will also provide insight into the three distinct leadership styles of the No. 1 companies: From training and promotions to taking a personal interest in employees, these top presidents and CEOs share their strategies for improving morale and maintaining low turnover.

A countdown celebration breakfast will be held on June 22 to announce the final rankings, including the 2007 No. 1 Best Place to Work in each category. Additional event information can be found online.

The 2007 Best Places to Work project was launched by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm QMR Inc. of Wichita, Kansas. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 25,000 employee-satisfaction surveys. Employees answered questionnaires that addressed such factors as their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning to each question.

"The Best Places to Work are companies that invest in their employees, foster a positive work setting and exhibit a team oriented environment," said Boston Business Journal Publisher Michael Olivieri. "These leaders understand that employees are the foundation of the company, and the engine that drives the business forward. It creates a tangible difference with the competition."
