This Survey and Awards Program Identifies, Recognizes and Honors the Best Employers in New York City, Benefiting the City’s Economy, Workforce and Businesses
TEL AVIV, Israel & NEW YORK — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Nov. 20, 2018 — Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: PERI) announced today that Undertone, a leader in cross-platform synchronized digital marketing for the world’s most prominent brands, was named one of the Best Places to Work in New York City. Crain’s New York Business launched the pioneering recognition program in 2007, and today, it is a joint effort of Crain’s New York Business and Best Companies Group. The annual list is created based on confidential employee survey responses and a separate survey of employers. The companies on the list span a wide range of industries and share a commitment to creating a supportive, collegial and empowering workplace.
“At Undertone, our people are core to our success, and we have made it a priority to create and cultivate an environment where our uniquely talented team can grow and thrive,” said Mike Pallad, President of Undertone. “We are honored to be recognized by the Crain’s team once again as one of the best places to work in New York City. This recognition is a true testament to the work of our amazing human resources team, which has worked tirelessly to create a culture where employees are valued, heard and respected. The strength of our people manifests itself into the inspiring work we do for our clients and we look forward to growing this team in 2019.”
This is Undertone’s seventh recognition from Crain’s. Founded in 2002, Undertone has been at the forefront of the technology that drives where and how ads are displayed. Its synchronized digital branding platform creates powerful consistent messaging for today’s most digitally savvy brands. Undertone was selected due to the responses reviewed on its employee surveys that focused on workplace policies, practices, systems and demographics, as well as overall experience. Appropriately, 40% of new hires at Undertone in 2018 were a direct result of employee referrals.
Key new Undertone initiatives include:
“I have worked at several tech companies over the course of my career and it has always been my mission to build a solid HR infrastructure within companies that have growth potential,” said Louise Peddell, VP of Human Resources at Undertone. “I knew there was something special when I joined Undertone and the passion and pride for the work that they do is palpable. We have a lot of fun here, and it shows! In light of this recognition, I am extremely proud of my team for their laser focus on developing new initiatives and programs in order to foster the energy and passion for creativity that is so evident and contagious. Looking ahead, we will continue to work across teams to generate new programs and amazing opportunities for our culture’s constant growth and evolution.”
In early 2019, Undertone will house its significant workforce expansion in a brand-new office space at One World Trade Center. This is an important step in further establishing itself as a people-driven technology company where employees work as a cohesive unit to move the company forward. Joining the ranks of Conde Nast, GroundTruth, and Infosys Technologies, Undertone will move from its current office on Madison Avenue in Midtown, into the new space in downtown Manhattan.
Crain’s New York Business will publish the numerical rankings online at www.crainsnewyork.com and in Crain’s New York Business’ print edition on December 3, 2018.
Companies across all five boroughs participated in the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in New York City. The first part (25% of the ranking) consisted of evaluating each nominated organization’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The second part (75% of the ranking) involved an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
