Ipswitch has been named a Silver winner in the Best Places to Work category by Best in Biz Awards International 2016.

This award recognizes Ipswitch’s outstanding workplace environment as evidenced by its commitment to employee growth and overall satisfaction, best-in-class employee benefits, corporate philanthropy and social responsibility.

Now in its fourth year, Best in Biz Awards International has retained its unique status of being the only global business awards program judged solely by members of the press and industry analysts. Best in Biz Awards International 2016 recognizes companies, teams, executives and products worldwide for their business successes in the previous and current year.

“This award is a powerful validation of our commitment to making Ipswitch one of the very best places to work worldwide,” said Ipswitch CEO Joe Krivickas. “We are passionate about driving employee growth and development while providing world-class support to our people, making their work and their lives as fulfilling and enriching as possible.”

The software vendor is also proud to state that 50 percent of Ipswitch managers and above have been promoted to their current position, an impressive ratio that is driven by the company’s commitment to growth and development, education and training programs, as well as on-the-job mentoring.

Ipswitch’s culture also emphasizes the importance of social responsibility through philanthropy and community service, an attribute that also helps the company find and retain the best talent as more people seek an employer that mirrors their core values.

Through its iCare social responsibility program, Ipswitch has donated nearly $3 million to causes around the world that impact communities, families and individuals in meaningful ways. Ipswitch employees and the company also dedicate their time, resources and financial support to various non-profit organizations.
