April 28, 2016 – Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions in the cloud, announced today that it has been ranked #14 on the inaugural list of 50 Best Workplaces for Giving Back, created by Fortune and Great Place to Work. The winners come from a universe of nearly 600 companies evaluated by Great Place to Work, who surveyed 240,000 employees nationwide and analyzed data on the relative generosity of each company’s community-oriented programs.
“We are honored to be ranked on the 50 Best Workplaces for Giving Back list, since one of our core principles is making a difference in our community,” said Vivian Maza, chief people officer of Ultimate. “Social responsibility and helping those in need is central to our ‘People First’ culture that strives to build lifelong relationships, value integrity, and maintain an environment of inclusiveness. Giving back has always been integral to who we are since we were founded over 25 years ago, and it remains a big source of pride for our employees today. Our employees’ pride in the work they do and generosity of spirit also contributes to building trust and partnerships with our customers.”
Ultimate encourages its employees to make a difference in their communities by providing full-time employees with two paid days per year for community service and volunteer work with charities of their choosing. The company also matches dollar for dollar the total amount of donations made by its employees to a number of charitable global causes throughout the year, including aid to victims of natural disasters.
Ultimate also congratulates its customers who were named to Fortune’s list of 50 Best Workplaces for Giving Back, including NuStar Energy, PPR Talent Management Group, Veterans United Home Loans, David Weekley Homes, Baker Donelson, Quicken Loans, American Fidelity, Arthrex, Hyland Software, and Clif Bar & Company.
Ranking on the 50 Best Workplaces for Giving Back list is determined by a Great Place to Work survey and program information from nearly 600 Great Place to Work-certified organizations. Employees evaluate their companies on the extent to which they are able to make a difference in their communities, as well as the degree to which they have the support of their organizations to give back. Employees rated the difference they make at work, the meaningfulness of their jobs, and the impact they feel their organization makes in the community.
Scores also take into account the total financial value of charitable donations made as a percentage of the company’s revenue; the average amount donated by the company per employee through matching programs; how many paid volunteer hours the company provides its staff; and whether the company offers flexible hours and compressed scheduling benefits that would allow employees to fit regular volunteer activities into their work lives.
