EventBooking secures 2020 Best Workplace award
EventBooking, the cloud-based venue software company that serves over 1,000 clients worldwide, has been named one of Inc. magazine’s Best Workplaces for 2020, with Inc. magazine having singled out 395 winning companies from more than 3,000 submissions. This is the second consecutive year EventBooking has received this recognition.
EventBooking will be listed among the final 'Best Workplaces' in the May/June 2020 issue of Inc. magazine. That list is also currently showcased as the main feature on the Inc.com homepage. The results come from a comprehensive measurement of private American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits.
EventBooking Founder and Chief Executive, John Platillero noted “now more than ever, what defines a workplace is far beyond the brick and mortar facility. It is and has always been about the people. I am so proud of and grateful for our team and how everyone has adapted so quickly in recent times. They’ve barely skipped a beat to continue to serve our clients with the same care we also strive to show each other at EventBooking.”
Each nominated company took part in an anonymous employee survey on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analysed, and audited the data, then ranked all the employers using a composite score of survey results.
According to survey data, 96% of EventBooking employees consider themselves to be “highly engaged” with the company, and when prompted to describe the work environment in one word, the top adjective submitted was “collaborative.”
The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritise the most human elements of work. These companies are leading the way in employee recognition, performance management, and diversity. It’s a different playbook from a decade ago, when too many firms used the same template: free food, open work environments, and artifacts of “fun.”
While researching the finalists, Inc. saw distinct themes:
- 100% provide health insurance—and some cover the cost.
- 50% allow employees to bring pets to work.
- 62% take employees to offsite retreats to relax and recharge.
- 20% offer paid sabbaticals to reward length of service.
Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk advises “building a great corporate culture comes only from strong leadership.
“The companies on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from, especially now, when company culture is more important to the workforce than ever.”
