PRESS RELEASE
In addition to its placement on the prestigious national list recognizing exceptional company culture and employee satisfaction, iSeatz was also selected as a top workplace in a special category for the Southeast region
NEW ORLEANS, May 10, 2023 -- iSeatz, a leading provider of travel loyalty technology and digital commerce solutions and a company with a long commitment to creating a positive and productive work environment, has been included on Inc. magazine's annual Best Workplaces list, and was additionally recognized as a top workplace in a special category for the Southeast region of the United States. Featured in the May/June 2023 issue, which hits newsstands on May 16, 2023, and prominently featured on Inc.com, the list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or a virtual facility.
Founded in 1999 and based in New Orleans, iSeatz is a Travel-as-a-Service company delivering loyalty tech, fintech, and ecommerce solutions that enable travel & lifestyle bookings. The company prides itself on its ability to engage and retain team members, and views their ability to maintain a culture of support, awareness, and sensitivity as a competitive advantage in the travel technology sector. As a result, none of iSeatz' employees surveyed as part of the Inc. selection process fell into the "barely engaged" or "disengaged" categories, and the iSeatz benefit score ranked approximately 14% higher than comparably sized companies in the region.
"We've always strived to make iSeatz a great place to work, not just through a best-in-class total rewards strategy, but by prioritizing a collaborative work environment, organizational development, and community involvement," says Jasmyn Farris, Chief People Operations Officer of iSeatz. "After many consecutive years of regional recognition as a Best Place to Work, earning a spot on Inc. Magazine's (national) Best Workplaces list helps to validate all of the hard work we've done to provide a culture that is primed for success."
After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 591 honorees this year. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization's benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.
Direct feedback from iSeatz employees through the survey was integral to Inc.'s rankings. iSeatz team members cited "a leadership team that is accessible, has a clear vision for the company, knows how to achieve that vision" along with "programs that are challenging to our thinking but help us grow stronger together as an organization" and the fact that "everyone's contributions are viewed as valuable" as reasons iSeatz is an exceptional workplace. One response perhaps captured the company culture most succinctly: "iSeatz both talks the talk and walks the work in terms of employee engagement and works hard to ensure an inclusive, diverse workplace."
iSeatz maintains this high level of employee satisfaction through its People Operations Center of Excellence, which identifies and utilizes best practices to advance the principles of Attract, Connect, and Excel. This management approach helps iSeatz recruit top diverse talent in the market, keep its team members engaged, and execute operational excellence.
"Being named to Best Workplaces is an honor that only a small fraction of companies have been able to claim," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "Proving to the world that you're a magnet for talent and have a culture that keeps teams engaged, productive, and proud to come to work is a truly remarkable achievement."
