Paragon ranks among highest-scoring businesses on Inc. Magazine’s annual list of best workplaces for 2021
NEW JERSEY – MAY 12, 2021 – Paragon Public Relations (“Paragon”) has been named to Inc. Magazine’s annual list of the Best Workplaces in 2021. The exclusive list is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of American companies that have created exceptional workplaces and company culture whether teams are operating in person or remotely.
Collecting data from thousands of submissions, each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including management effectiveness, perks, and fostering employee growth. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine the company’s overall score and ranking.
Inc. survey results found 100 percent of Paragon employees to be highly engaged and revealed that senior executives of the organization value their team members as the Company’s most important resource. “Collaborative” is the word best deemed to describe Paragon’s work environment.
“After a year of tremendous change, we’re extremely proud to be named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces,” said Simon Hylson Smith, CEO, Paragon Public Relations. “The Paragon team has shown unrivaled fortitude and created a company culture that’s both ambitious and agile, taking on new challenges every day as a unit and impressing the industry’s brightest.”
“The definition of a positive workplace has changed drastically over the past year,” says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Stocked fridges and nap pods were no longer perks many companies could rely on once work went remote. So, this year’s list is even more important as it reveals organizations that continue to enrich the lives of its employees amid a pandemic.”
Paragon is proud to be included as one of only 10 New Jersey businesses and one of less than 50 PR/marketing agencies on the prestigious list! Last spring, the agency was named to PRNews’ Agency Elite Top 100 List and most recently ranked one of the best PR firms in Jersey City by Expertise.
