Boston Business Journal Honors G-Force Shipping as a 2014 “Best Places to Work” Winner

QUINCY, Mass. - April 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Quincy, MA (April 30, 2014)  --- The Boston Business Journal has named G-Force Shipping one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its twelfth annual regional awards program. The honor recognizes G-Force Shipping’s achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.

The 2014 Best Places to Work recognition comes on the heels of G-Force’s 2014 Pacesetter award from the Boston Business Journal as one of Massachusetts’ 70 fastest growing private companies.

G-Force Shipping was one of over 400 companies to qualify for Best Places to Work consideration based on a two-stage nomination process and the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout March & April.

“Establishing one of the region’s premier employee-friendly workplace environments has been a primary goal since company inception and it is a great honor to see our efforts recognized by the Boston Business Journal,” said G-Force CEO, Scott Guilbeault. “All of the success and rapid expansion G-Force has seen in recent years is solely due to the hard work each and every employee puts in every day at the office and our pending move to a new, more expansive space closer to downtown Boston will further enhance the workplace experience for the people who have made this all possible.”

Due to G-Force’s hyper growth and unrelenting commitment to providing a premier employee-friendly workplace environment, the company is currently in the process of relocating to a 17,500 square foot location at Heritage Landing in Quincy.

In addition to this year’s Best Places to Work, G-Force has been recognized with several other prestigious workplace awards including “Best Place to Work” by Best in Biz 2013 International and “Nations Best and Brightest Companies to Work For” by 101 Best and Brightest.

“Our Best Places to Work event will again recognize the importance of cultivating a great workplace culture as a competitive advantage," said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. "Companies on our list can be justifiably proud of creating a high level of workplace satisfaction during an economy where traditional rewards like big raises and bonuses aren't as easy to give. In good times and in bad, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages. Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business.”

The survey project was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm Quantum Workplace of Omaha, NE. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 18,000 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.

60 companies total … the top 20 companies in three size categories will be awarded during a lively cocktail reception on June 12^th at the iconic CitiCenter /Wang Theatre and profiled in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal on June 13th
