Boston Globe Names Blue Cod Among “Top Places” to Work

Blue Cod Technologies Inc., a Marlborough, Mass.-based provider of insurance technology and services, has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the second annual employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe. The Globe 100’s Top Places to Work ’09 magazine was published in the Sunday Globe on November 8. Online, the report can be found here.

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.

Blue Cod was ranked 67th on the overall list.

“Over the last few years, Blue Cod has been honored to receive a variety of awards related to our financial performance and growth,” said Jeff Brown, Blue Cod’s president and CEO. “While we were pleased to receive those awards, this award has greater meaning to us. It’s a reflection of the culture of our company and the quality of our people. It underlines the foundation of our business plan that attracting and retaining great people, encouraging them to become their personal and professional best, will, in turn, provide the best service possible to our customers.“

To qualify for the Globe 100’s Top Places to Work, a company must have more than 100 employees in Massachusetts. Nearly 1,000 qualified companies accepted an invitation to participate. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.
