| Source: Sage North America
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - February 1, 2010) - Sage North America today announced it was named
one of the Best Companies to Work for in Texas 2010. The awards program was
created in 2006, and is a project of TEXAS MONTHLY magazine, the Texas
Association of Business (TAB), the Texas State Council of the Society for
Human Resource Management (TSC-SHRM), and Best Companies Group.
Sage North America helps nearly 3.1 million small and mid-sized businesses
and nonprofits in the U.S. and Canada increase efficiency and more easily
manage their operations. The company's Nonprofit Solutions business, which
serves nonprofit and governmental organizations with its Sage Fundraising
and Sage MIP Fund Accounting software, is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
More than 100 employees work on that campus.
The longest tenured employee on Sage's Austin campus, Mark Hagerty -- a
principal software engineer for Sage MIP Fund Accounting -- joined the
company in August 1992. "The great people here are the main reason I've
stayed for more than 17 years," he said. "In addition to offering great
benefits, a nice environment, ample training, and the opportunity to
contribute to various areas of the business, Sage allows me to do work I
enjoy -- developing software that helps nonprofits run their organizations.
I also appreciate that Sage gives back to its communities on both a local
and national level."
Sage was recognized as one of only 85 companies in the state to be included
in the statewide Best Companies to Work for in Texas survey and awards
program, which was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best
places of employment in Texas.
Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine
the Best Companies to Work for in Texas. The first part consisted of
evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and
demographics; the second part consisted of an employee survey to measure
the employee experience.
Sage North America was recognized and honored at the Best Companies to Work
for in Texas awards ceremony at the 2010 TAB Annual Conference earlier this
week.
