SproutLoud Awarded Best Top 10 Places to Work by South Florida Business Journal
March 16, 2009 (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) -- SproutLoud Media Networks, LLC (www.sproutloud.com) has been selected as one of the Top 10 Best Places to Work in the 10 to 50 employee category by the South Florida Business Journal.
As a recipient, Gary Ritkes, Managing Director of Sales, responded, "We consider the accomplishment of being voted one of the Top 10 Best Places to Work an honor and totally consistent with our core values of having the utmost mutual respect between all levels of the organization and providing an atmosphere where talented professionals will thrive. This respect is important for the team to function cohesively and to give clients the best possible services and products."
Other contributing factors to SproutLoud's achievement included their practice of not micro-managing so employees are empowered to make decisions and be responsible for their own working environment, whether it is taking initiative to improve an internal workflow or doing the right thing for the customer.
SproutLoud conducts business as a meritocracy. Professionals are rewarded based on a combination of merit and length of service, creating opportunities for talented, hardworking professionals to grow rapidly.
It's not all about work, as Jared Shusterman, Managing Partner and Founder, stated "We work hard, but we play hard as well - with monthly happy hours, company events, etc. - which help build team camaraderie outside of the office."
Team members of SproutLoud obviously agreed, with such comments as, "SproutLoud has a strong commitment to the core company principles in addition to passionately leading us toward an exciting future in an emerging technology." Others commented on the atmosphere as a "hardworking, fun environment where every team member can regularly realize their part in enhancing a growing company," to "SproutLoud is a wonderful place to work."
The Best Places to Work™ contest began in 2004 with the intention of recognizing and honoring companies that understand the value of their human assets. American City Business Journals and Quantum Workplace partnered to perform the surveys. Employees of nominated companies anonymously completed an online survey, answering about 40 questions. Quantum's analytical tools were then used to rank the top organizations.
