PORTLAND ? If a company is a great place to work does that mean it?s a great place to do business with? Typically, happy employees mean better customer service ? and when it comes to the virtual receptionist industry Ruby Receptionists is leading the pack.
Great Place to Work just named Ruby Receptionists the #1 Best Small to Medium Size Workplace in the nation. The list, which recognizes companies that have exceptional workplace cultures, was published this week in Forbes magazine.
?I was incredibly touched to hear that we had made the list. And was speechless when I learned we were number one. We have long been creating a remarkable and rewarding workplace culture,? says Ruby Founder & CEO Jill Nelson.
?I am so proud of everyone at Ruby. We all come to work each day with a real passion and purpose for the work we do ? and, more importantly, for the people we work with. In an era focused on technology, we?re keeping real human connections alive and well.?
Ruby is no stranger to accolades for the way it treats its virtual receptionist employees. Ruby Receptionists has landed in the top 10 of Oregon Business magazine?s ?100 Best Companies to Work for in Oregon? list for the past two years. The virtual receptionist company stood out to among hundreds of applicants for the national Great Place to Work list. Great Place to Work evaluates companies using a unique methodology based on five dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
?This list represents the best of the best,? says Susan Lucas-Conwell, Global CEO of Great Place to Work. ?While each company is unique, what they have in common are strong cultures that support positive workplaces.?
As Lucas-Conwell sees it, the virtual receptionist makes exceptional efforts toward fostering employee happiness. For example, the company sponsors several parties each year, along with community service activities and educational programs that aim to foster team-building and camaraderie. Ruby Receptionists also gives employees access to company-sponsored gift cards and a pre-paid Amazon.com account so they can spontaneously send clients small, thoughtful gifts that support Ruby?s ?Practice WOWism? core value.
The virtual receptionist company also recently launched two unique programs: ?Five at Five,? a new sabbatical program providing five weeks of paid sabbatical upon five years of employment. Eleven of Ruby?s 95 current employees will become eligible for sabbatical this year. Ruby?s program is believed to be one of the first among other companies offering phone-based support, such as call centers and answering services. The second was Ruby?s innovative ?Happiness Journal? program, which asked employees to write daily about their gratitude; the six-week program increased employee happiness and, in turn, had a positive impact on the bottom line.
