UpperEdge recognized for exceptional workplace culture and commitment to employee excellence 

 

Boston, MA – June 18, 2024 – UpperEdge, an independent, third-party advisor that empowers organizations to maximize the value of their IT supplier relationships, has been named in Inc.’s annual Best Workplaces list for 2024. Prominently featured on Inc.com, the list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures, whether operating in a physical or a virtual facility.
UpperEdge’s recognition stems from its unwavering commitment to its core values of integrity, respect, accountability, courage, commitment, humility, and social responsibility. This latest accolade follows five consecutive years (2018 to 2022) of being recognized as one of Boston’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For and further solidifies UpperEdge’s reputation as a leader in fostering a positive culture and an outstanding work environment.

This year, Inc. evaluated thousands of submissions, selecting 543 honorees through a rigorous process. Each nominated company participated in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. Benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.

An anonymous employee from the survey shared:

“UpperEdge’s culture is truly special. Our CEO values our employees, and in turn we all value each other. The environment places a high value on recognition, appreciation, and respect. Celebrating achievements, both big and small, fosters a positive and motivating atmosphere. It reinforces the idea that every contribution matters, creating a sense of pride in the work we do.”

David Blake, CEO of UpperEdge, emphasized the significance of this recognition, stating, “We’re incredibly honored to be recognized. This award is a testament to the dedication and passion of our entire team, who continuously strive to foster a supportive and dynamic work environment. At UpperEdge, we believe that our people are our greatest asset, and this recognition underscores our commitment to creating a culture where every team member can thrive and succeed.”

We use hard metrics and data as well as qualitative measures for judging in order to find the very best—and we’re proud that the program is highly selective.”
