FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ConneXt Honored as One of Washington
State’s Best Companies to Work For
SEATTLE, WA., June 15, 2001 - ConneXt, a premier developer
of billing and customer care solutions for utilities, recently placed
among the top five on Washington CEO magazine’s annual Best
Companies to Work for in Washington State list. ConneXt was ranked
number four in the mid-size company category, where companies with
100-999 employees were evaluated on such criteria as organizational
communication, leadership, and their ability to attract and retain
talent.
Consulting firm Watson Wyatt designed the survey that was distributed
state-wide to employers and completed anonymously by the employees
and corporate officers. The results were tabulated and submitted
to a panel of judges, who then ranked the companies based on the
survey results and corporate reports. Among those judging this year’s
contest were Working Wounded columnist Bob Rosner and Alexander
D. Hill, dean of the Seattle Pacific University School of Business.
ConneXt’s management received especially high marks in organizational
communication, decision-making and supervision, career development,
and employee benefits. Both employees and executives gave the overall
work environment a very favorable rating.
“By providing benefits that help our employees balance both work
and life concerns, and keeping communication channels open at all
levels of the company, our employees are motivated to strive for
excellence,” said Maxine Voetberg, vice president of human resources.
“It’s a formula that succeeds for everyone – we retain top talent
and that increases the quality of the products and services we provide
to our customers. We're extremely proud that Washington CEO recognized
ConneXt as one of Washington state’s top companies.
ConneXt is a Seattle-based developer of packaged customer information
system software that enables utilities to meet the challenges of
today’s rapidly changing energy marketplace. The company’s flagship
billing and customer care solution is ConsumerLinX®, a powerful,
agile and adaptable system featuring high-volume billing for all
customer classes, including a separate solution designed specifically
for commercial and industrial (C&I) accounts.
