Scale Computing Named One of the 2011 Best Places to Work in Indiana
Intelligent storage leader recognized by Indiana Chamber of Commerce
Scale Computing, a developer and manufacturer of intelligent, clustered storage solutions that are tailored to the needs of the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), today announced that the company has been named one of the 2011 Best Places to Work in Indiana. The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, BizVoice®, Inside INdiana Business, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Best Companies Group.
This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Indiana, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2011 Best Places to Work in Indiana list is made up of 34 companies in the small/medium-sized list (15-249 employees in the United States) and 36 companies in the large-sized list (250+ employees in the United States).
“Scale has experienced tremendous growth since we moved our headquarters to Indiana in 2009, much of which can be attributed to our enthusiastic entrepreneurial team,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “From our Scale Entrepreneurial Academy to our personal and professional growth opportunities, we pride ourselves on the “best ever” experience provided to every employee. We are extremely proud of our company culture and we will continue to make great strides to ensure that it remains intact as we continue our growth.”
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least 15 employees working in Indiana
- Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity
- Be a publicly or privately held business
- Have a facility in the state of Indiana
- Have been in business a minimum of 1 year
Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Indiana. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Indiana and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
Scale Computing will be recognized and honored at the 2011 Best Places to Work in Indiana Awards Dinner coordinated by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, May 5. The final rankings will be announced at the event. In addition, all ranked companies will be featured in the May-June issue of the award-winning BizVoice® magazine.
