BURLINGTON, Mass. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - e-Dialog, a proven e-mail marketing service provider with offices in Boston, New York, Seattle and London, today announced it has been named to the Globe 100's Top Places to Work for the second consecutive year, ranking 42 overall. The list recognizes the most progressive companies based on an exhaustive employee survey measuring opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values and ethics. The Globe 100's Top Places to Work '09 magazine was published in The Boston Sunday Globe on Nov. 8. Online, the report can be found at www.boston.com/topworkplaces.

"Even in this bad economy we've experienced a tremendous amount of growth at e-Dialog, including increasing our workforce by more than 75 people and moving to our new global headquarters in Burlington. During this time, we demonstrated our commitment to employees by significantly expanding our Human Resource department and investing heavily in training and career growth," shared John Rizzi, e-Dialog president and CEO. "We continue to focus on what makes e-Dialog a great place to work."

"We aim to provide an interesting, supportive work environment that gives our employees the opportunity to continually succeed and learn new skills," remarked Renee Pecor, senior vice president of Human Resources. "We do this through training classes, mentoring, quarterly recognition programs, promoting from within, and transfers between departments and even between offices internationally. We're very proud to have high employee retention rates because it means we have happy employees, which makes for happy clients, which feeds our growth."

The publisher of The Boston Globe Steve Ainsley stated, "The companies included in the Globe 100's Top Places to Work have succeeded in creating a positive workplace for their employees in the midst of the uncertainties of the general economy. I congratulate each of them for an outstanding accomplishment."

Produced by the same team that compiles the 22-year old Globe 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Massachusetts, the Top Places to Work recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values and ethics. Private companies and nonprofits as well as publicly-held businesses were included in the analysis.

The rankings in the Globe 100's Top Places to Work are based on survey information collected by Workplace Dynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from 86,000 employees at 269 Massachusetts organizations. This marks the second year that a Globe 100 report has honored private as well as publicly-held organizations.
