Blackbaud (NASDAQ:BLKB) has been named to Quartz’s ranking of the Best Companies for Remote Workers 2022.
Quartz Best Companies for Remote Workers is a global ranking that recognizes employers involved in setting the standard for distance, at-home or distributed work. The list is comprised of employer and employee surveys and put together by the Best Companies Group with advisory services offered by partner Doist. The survey is also optional and confidential.
“Companies at the vanguard of remote work helped show everyone else how to do it. Now we are seeing their best practices replicated across industries, at companies of all sizes. The companies on our ranking are putting their remote policies to use as a recruiting and retention play, as a tool for diversifying their talent pool, and as a performance strategy. Our second annual ranking honors businesses that have gone above and beyond in ensuring that their remote workers have the tools they need, from technology stipends to wellness perks, to do their jobs effectively,” said Heather Landy, Quartx executive editor.
