SUFFOLK CONSTRUCTION
NAMED ONE OF “BEST PLACES
TO WORK”
For the ninth year in a row, Suffolk
Construction, an AGC member in California,
Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and
Massachusetts, has been named one of the
Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in
the Boston Business Journal’s 11th annual
regional awards program. The honor recognizes Suffolk’s achievements in creating
a positive work environment that attracts
and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working
conditions, and company culture.
Featured as the only construction management firm in the “Large Company”
category, Suffolk was one of over 400
companies to qualify for consideration based
on a two-stage nomination process and
employee-satisfaction survey. The company
has been honored for providing career development opportunities, community engagement initiatives, and innovative technologies
that help employees work smarter.
“We are extremely pleased to once
again be included on the Boston Business
Journal’s prestigious Best Places to Work
list. Being recognized with this impressive
award for the ninth consecutive year is a
tremendous accomplishment for our company and a tribute to our unique culture
and passionate, hard working employees,”
said John F. Fish, chairman and CEO of
Suffolk Construction.
“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.”
