MITRE Named to Boston Globe's 2010 Top Places to Work List

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

BEDFORD, Mass., November 22, 2010 — The MITRE Corporation has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the Boston Globe's third annual employee survey of local employers. This year MITRE was ranked second on the overall list of the best large companies (those with 1,000 or more employees). MITRE also ranked second for dedication to ethics, third in a related listing of the best companies in Massachusetts for diversity, and fourth for employee confidence in their future career prospects, according to the Globe.

The Top Places to Work 2010 listing was published in the Sunday Globe on November 7. Online, the report can be found at www.boston.com/topworkplaces. The Globe's list recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity, career development, family-friendly schedule flexibility, and values and ethics.

The newspaper invited 1,160 employers to participate in the Top Places to Work survey. Of those, 236 organizations went all the way through the process, including a confidential survey of their workers. Each employee was asked to grade their organization's performance according to 23 distinct statements, ranging from "This organization demonstrates it values employees during difficult times" to "It's easy to tell my boss the truth." Workplace Dynamics of Exton, Pa., specialists in employee engagement and retention, conducted the survey.

"It's especially gratifying that our employees provided such positive feedback to the Globe survey," said Dr. Lisa Bender, MITRE's Vice President and Human Resources Officer. "We're honored to be named to the Globe's Top Places to Work list once again."

"Each of the companies included in the Top Places to Work 2010 deserve recognition for creating a positive workplace for their employees. Their accomplishment adds to the vitality of this state's business environment," said Boston Globe Publisher Chris Mayer.
