MVES Ranked 17 in Globe's Top 100 Places to Work

 

Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) has been named one of the “Top Places to Work in Massachusetts” in the debut of an employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe. MVES was ranked 17 on the overall list as well as 7 on the Top 40 Small Workplaces list. The agency ranked 6 overall in flexibility and ethics, two areas especially important in an organization that provides care and comfort to those most in need.

Produced by the same team that compiles the 21-year-old Globe 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Massachusetts, the “Top Places to Work” recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values and ethics. Private companies and nonprofits as well as publicly-held businesses were included in the analysis.

The rankings in the Globe 100’s “Top Places to Work” are based on survey information collected by Workplace Dynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from 70,000 employees at about 300 Massachusetts organizations. This marks the first time that a Globe 100 report honors private as well as publicly-held organizations.

“This is a tremendous honor for Mystic Valley Elder Services,” said MVES Executive Director Daniel J. O’Leary. “It’s exciting to see that our employees appreciate the hard work of their colleagues, the congenial working atmosphere, and the importance of the agency’s mission.”

The publisher of The Boston Globe Steve Ainsley stated, “All the companies included in the Globe 100’s Top Places to Work deserve a great deal of recognition. It’s clear that they value their employees and make it a priority to create a positive workplace.”

To qualify for the Globe 100’s Top Places to Work, a company must have more than 100 employees in Massachusetts. Nearly 300 qualified companies accepted an invitation to participate. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.
