Slalom Consulting Honored as a Glassdoor Best Place to Work in 2015

Seattle, WA, December 11, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Slalom Consulting has been honored with a Glassdoor Employee's Choice Award, recognizing the Best Places to Work in 2015. It's the sixth year that Slalom has appeared on the Best Places to Work list. The Employees’ Choice Awards program, now in its seventh year, relies solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work environments and companies via Glassdoor’s anonymous online company reviews survey.

Brad Jackson, Slalom’s chief executive officer, said it’s especially rewarding to be ranked among the top 20 companies because the ranking is based on employee feedback.

"We all want to get better, and so we like the feedback we get. We are a feedback-driven company."

Slalom has long had the goal of not just doing great work for clients, but also ensuring employees know that their work has real meaning and purpose – and Jackson said that awards like these are also a reminder that building that kind of culture takes constant work and dedication.

 “I’m excited for a few minutes, and then I immediately start thinking, ‘What do we need to do to make the experience even better for our people?’” he said.

John Tobin, Slalom’s co-founder and the president of Slalom North America, said the company is proud to yet again be among Glassdoor’s best places to work because the ranking reflects employees’ honest, unfiltered opinions about the company.

Tobin also said he values the Glassdoor ratings because they give him a true picture of what employees love about Slalom, and what the company could be doing even better. The company’s leadership reads all the reviews Slalom receives, and Tobin personally responds to some of them.

It’s also not uncommon for him to share the comments he sees with other company leaders, so they can use the feedback to make Slalom an even better place to work.

“We all want to get better, and so we like the feedback we get,” he said. “We are a feedback-driven company.”

“I am proud to celebrate the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award winners in earning this tremendous achievement, ” said Glassdoor co-founder and CEO Robert Hohman. “Millions of employees around the world are turning to Glassdoor each month to share their work experiences. It is this type of authentic feedback that helps others find jobs and companies they love, and allows us to honor employers who stand out for their efforts in providing an enjoyable work environment and culture.”

The Glassdoor company review survey includes both quantitative and qualitative questions designed to capture a genuine and authentic inside look at what it’s like to work at particular jobs and companies. The survey asks employees to rate their satisfaction with the company overall, and key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation, benefits, work/life balance, senior management, as well as culture and values. In addition, employees are asked to describe the best reasons to work at their companies as well as any downsides.

The Best Places to Work are determined using company reviews shared by U.S. based employees who elected to participate in the survey between November 13, 2013 and November 2, 2014. To be considered for the large category, a company must have at least 1,000 or more employees and have received at least 50 company reviews from U.S.-based employees during the window of eligibility. The final list is compiled based on Glassdoor’s proprietary algorithm, and takes into account quantity, quality and consistency of reviews.
