Carter Conboy Named a Top Workplace for Fifth Consecutive Year

Carter Conboy has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by the Albany Times Union and given the distinction of being a 5-Year Winner along with only eight other Capital District workplaces. The Times Union began recognizing exceptional Capital Region employers in 2012, and Carter Conboy has been on the list since the beginning.

The Top Workplaces awards are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Workplace Dynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Workplace Dynamics, LLC invited more than 600 small, medium and large companies, with a total of 17,000 employees, to participate in its Top Workplaces survey. Top Workplace winners were chosen after a careful review process of over 8,600 surveys.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics, said. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.” Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
