OptConnect, a longtime leader in managed wireless services, today announced that they have been awarded a Top Workplaces 2021 honor by The Salt Lake Tribune. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC.
The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.
“Being a company that does everything we can to make OptConnect a safe, fun, and engaging workplace for our employees, this award holds a tremendous amount of value for us because it is a result of employees speaking praise about their unique experiences,” said Chris Baird, CEO of OptConnect. “By recruiting the very best people and then empowering and rewarding them for supporting our customers, we have created a winning culture that is continuously fueled by each employee’s efforts.”
OptConnect’s company culture is one of great dedication and passion. More than just a fully stocked breakroom, monthly company parties, and a robust suite of benefits, OptConnect’s leadership team focuses on propelling the culture forward in support of employees in each of their weekly meetings in creative and unique ways. It is a constant focus and intentional effort to create an environment that employees can thrive in and want to stay and contribute in for a very long time.
“The past two years have not been easy; however, in 2021, we are celebrating the most businesses we’ve ever recognized in Utah,” said Chris Stegman, Chief Revenue Officer at the Salt Lake Tribune. “Every company being recognized this year has had to adjust to a new way of doing business. But, by the responses of their employees and the fact that they are being recognized this year, they have done so masterfully.”
Winners were honored at a breakfast event at The Little America on November 3rd.
