Makpar Earns 2021-2022 Great Place to Work Certification™

Centreville, Virginia – October 2021 – Makpar is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place to Work® for the 3rd year in a row. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Makpar. This year, 98% of employees said it’s a great place to work – 39 points higher than the average U.S. company.

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Makpar is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

“We are thrilled to become a certified Great Place to Work again because we consider employee satisfaction to be a top priority,” said President and CEO Seema Khan. “As a small business, we foster personal relationships with all of our employees and want to make sure they feel heard and fulfilled in their working lives. In an unprecedented year, we all worked together to stay connected. I’m so proud of my team for all they’ve done!”

This year, we created Makpar Cares and Makpar Engage, both programs that are designed to engage and support our employees and their interests. Makpar Cares is our corporate volunteer and giving arm, where we offer matching donations to causes that our employees care about and employees can also earn free PTO for volunteering in their communities. Makpar Engage provides an easy way for our employees to build their professional mark online through an in-house platform that helps them to engage with the industry at large.

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
