Thanks to Xaverian Brothers High School for contributing this news to Westwood Minute.
Westwood, MA — The Boston Business Journal (BBJ) has named Xaverian Brothers High School to its 2023 Best Places to Work list, which is BBJ's ranking that recognizes the those work places that "go beyond the norm to foster an enjoyable and meaningful work environment for their employees" based upon employee surveys.
BBJ honored 80 companies in several differing size categories from across a range of industries. Winners included those from the technology sector, retail industry, health care space, commercial real estate, and more. The companies must have an office in Massachusetts and only local employees can participate in BBJ's survey.
“Being named for this BBJ distinction as one of the area’s Best Places to Work affirms what we already know here at Xaverian,” said Dr. Jacob Conca, Xaverian Brothers High School’s Head of School. “Our community is strong, our environment is welcoming and supportive, and our employees care for one another and believe firmly in our mission of educating young men in the Xaverian and Catholic tradition. We are honored to be named and so grateful for our exceptional employees.”
"The companies that comprise this year’s Best Places to Work are among the most diverse in the decades we’ve been doing this program,” said Carolyn Jones, Market President and Publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “Their commitment to teamwork, employee engagement, flexibility and trust are the model to which the region’s businesses look for inspiration.”
There were 215 businesses that met criteria for office location and size that participated in employee-engagement surveys. Employees of those businesses were asked to rate their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits. Based on the results of the employee surveys, businesses were assigned a score out of 100 percent and were ranked by Quantum Workplace.
The top-rated companies are listed in five size categories — extra small (20 to 49 employees), small (50 to 99 employees), medium (100 to 249 employees), large (250 to 499 employees), and extra-large (500 or more). Xaverian Brothers High School is one of only 20 companies to be named to the list in the medium category.
The Best Places to Work celebration will be held on June 16 at the Boston Park Plaza. The special publication will appear in the June 17 weekly edition of the Boston Business Journal.
