WALNUT CREEK, CA – Sequoia has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by The Oregonian for the third consecutive year. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools. The anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.
“Top Workplaces is more than just recognition,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement.”
“We find people that have similar values to what our company has, including having a genuine care for others and a strong sense of doing the right thing – you can’t train those sorts of things,” says Tammy Georgantes, Vice President of Customer Experience at Sequoia. “Our employees are the type that naturally go the extra mile for their customers without thinking twice about it.”
“Becoming a Top Workplace isn’t something organizations can buy,” Claffey said. “It’s an achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It’s a big deal.”
Georgantes adds, “We are not your typical company. With every decision we make and program we have, we are constantly changing things and evolving to make sure we’re providing the best experience for our team members.”
