WOBURN, Mass., June 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc., the leader in remote connectivity and support services, today announced that the Boston Business Journal has honored it as one of the 2007 Best Places to Work in Massachusetts. The honor recognizes the company's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.
Woburn-based LogMeIn was one of 328 companies nominated -- a 40 percent increase in nominees over 2006 -- and made the top 20 list in its size category based on the results of employee-engagement surveys taken throughout the spring.
In less than three years since launching LogMeIn Free - the first commercially-supported, free, web-based remote access service - the company has come to dominate the remote access industry with the size of its global user base, and has moved onto the broader challenge of serving connectivity, digital living and the small business computer and device support markets. LogMeIn has more than 20 million users worldwide and is growing by close to two million more each month.
"This recognition as one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts is particularly gratifying because it comes from our employees," said Michael Simon, CEO of LogMeIn. "We've nearly doubled in size as a company in the past year and it's great to know that we haven't lost the enthusiasm and drive that got us here."
"With the hiring market so tight, a quality workplace truly is a competitive advantage. Employees respond to a flexible yet challenging culture and company leaders who lead by example," said Boston Business Journal Editor George Donnelly. "Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."
The top 20 companies in three size categories -- small (20-100 employees), midsize (101-500 employees) and large (more than 500 employees) -- will be listed in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal to be published on June 22, 2007. The supplement will also provide insight into the three distinct leadership styles of the No. 1 companies: From training and promotions to taking a personal interest in employees, these top presidents and CEOs share their strategies for improving morale and maintaining low turnover.
A countdown celebration breakfast will be held on June 22 to announce the final rankings, including the 2007 No. 1 Best Places to Work in each category. Additional event information can be found online at http://boston.bizjournals.com/boston/event/3228313.
The 2007 Best Places to Work project was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm QMR Inc. of Wichita, Kansas. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 25,000 employee-satisfaction surveys. Employees answered questionnaires that addressed such factors as their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning points to each question.
