Last night Al from our IT/Operations department attended the annual Boston Globe Top Places to Work in Massachusetts awards, with this report.

Last evening I had the honor to represent Ipswitch at an awards reception held by The Boston Globe to recognize the 2011 Top Places to Work in Massachusetts.

I am proud to announce that Ipswitch placed 5th (of 40 finalists) in the small business category!   We were the highest ranked software firm in that category, and one of only four software firms recognized in all categories. The award and a copy of the magazine are on display in the kitchen in Lexington. The results will be published In Sunday’s Globe, but they were announced yesterday. A preview article was posted by the Globe earlier today.

“The Globe’s Top Places to Work survey honors employers who care for their most valuable resource: the people who work for them. Those people – nearly 75,000 employees of the organizations ranked here – told us that their employers pay well, offer progressive benefits and creative perks, allow the flexibility needed to have good lives both at work and at home, embrace the diverse backgrounds of their employees, and offer a promising future to all of their workers.”   Click here for more details describing how the selections were made.

Congratulations everyone!
