WOBURN, MA (January 16, 2023) – TransAction Associates, Inc. has been named one of the  Top Places to Work  in Massachusetts in the 15th annual employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe.

 What makes somewhere a great place to work? Is it the free coffee, the great health insurance, the nice people you work with? According to an article on jobsite Indeed , “A good employer makes going to work each day fun, rewarding and challenging.” The State of the Global Workplace 2022 Report by Gallup estimates that most of us will spend 81,396 hours working in our lifetime. They note that the only thing most of us will do more than work is sleep. That may be one reason why more emphasis is being placed on work-life balance by today’s employees.

The Boston Globe asked 94,000 employees at 381 companies to complete a survey where they asked about leadership, appreciation, benefits, and more. Their goal was to identify just what it is that makes a great workplace here in Massachusetts. To keep it fair and anonymous, they partnered with Energage , an employee research and consulting firm in Pennsylvania. The survey was conducted in July of 2022 and the list was published in November.

Based on the results of the survey, 150 organizations were selected for the Boston Globe’s 2022 Top Places to Work list. Employers who made the list are offering a wide range of benefits and services for their employees. In the article accompanying the list, the Boston Globe Magazine noted that . . . “employers are coming to terms with the fact that their employees need, and deserve more – more flexibility, yes, but also more support, more humanity, and a greater sense of purpose.”
