CLAREMONT, N.H. & CHANTILLY, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Red River, a technology transformation company is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place to Work® for the second consecutive year. This prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Red River. This year, 88% of employees said it’s a great place to work – 31 points higher than the average U.S. company.

“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Red River is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“This year we focused heavily on our employees, their well-being and professional development with new programs like our Employee Resource Groups, which are employee-led groups that meet regularly to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace; our ‘Week of Thanks,’ which encourages employee recognition and fosters a sense of gratitude among teams; and our Mentoring programs that cultivate talent and leadership through prescribed individual growth,” said Jenn Hood, Senior Vice President for Human Resources at Red River. “We’ve stepped up in many areas from expanding volunteerism and philanthropy to virtual wellness support, so that our employees feel our support even when we can’t all be together in person.”

Red River places a strong emphasis company-wide on philanthropy and volunteerism. In 2021, Red River launched a new volunteer program to encourage employees to give back to their communities. The program created opportunities for small groups to volunteer together – COVID permitting – and also allowed employees to look for opportunities in their geographic areas and areas of interest. In 2021 the company set a goal of 3,000 volunteer hours for its roughly 700 employees. Red River far exceeded expectations, recording more than 12,000 volunteer hours in 2021.

“Achieving this certification year over year is a great honor, particularly in the midst of ever-changing work conditions that have tested how we collaborate and support one another,” said Dan McGee, COO for Red River. “This achievement is a testament to the commitment and care our employees bring to their work and each other every day, no matter the circumstances.”

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
