This is the third year in a row the Basis Technologies has been ranked in the top five of Ad Age Best Places to Work.

“The 2024 Best Places to Work winners demonstrate the value of giving employees competitive pay and benefits and designing optimal workplace practices to ensure great talent can do its best work,” said Dan Peres, president and editor-in-chief of Ad Age. “Companies will face more challenges in the new year against an uncertain economy, but winning workplaces know that taking care of employees drives business success.”

The winners -- top companies with 200 or fewer employees and top companies with more than 200 employees -- reflect the highest overall numerical scores based on an analysis of questionnaires submitted by employers and survey responses from their employees. Ad Age’s scoring system factors in employee responses on topics including pay and benefits and seven other core focus areas (75% of the score) and a company’s policies and practices on areas including pay and benefits, work/life balance, recruitment, training and development (25% of the score).

“Basis Technologies is honored to receive recognition of our workplace from Ad Age, one of the most influential organizations among our peer set. Our company has consistently focused on building an environment that empowers our team to be the best version of themselves wherever they are located,” said Emily Barron, EVP of talent and development, Basis Technologies. “Basis Technologies has been on Ad Age’s list year after year because we understand that the workplace continually evolves, and it requires consistent nurturing of team needs and new, innovative approaches that align with our changing world.”

Ad Age provided insight on key factors that secured the top spots for companies: “The winning companies outscored other workplaces in factors ranging from compensation and training to corporate culture and leadership… Perceptions about pay and benefits were the biggest differentiator for winners versus companies in the competition that didn’t make the ranking… At the best companies, the quid pro quo of the employer/employee compact begins by paying proper quid to the pros. Employees at winning companies felt better about their overall compensation package than did employees at companies that didn’t make the cut.”

Among the specific qualities of Basis Technologies, AdAge cites, “Basis provides a slew of other rewards to fuel its staff. A sabbatical offering allows employees a three-week paid break after every four years of their employment—in addition to their normal allotment of paid time off. And an annual, month-long wellness program aims to help staff improve their mental, physical and financial health, as well as earn up to a 30% discount on their health care premiums.”

Ad Age produced Best Places to Work 2024 in partnership with Best Companies Group (www.aabestplacestowork.com), a research firm specializing in identifying and recognizing great places to work. The competition was open to agencies, ad tech firms, data and research firms, brand or corporate marketing departments or groups and in-house agencies of marketers.
