Outside Magazine Names Boulder's Spectra Logic One of America's Best Places to Work in 2013 01 Aug 2013

Spectra Logic, celebrating more than 30 years of data storage innovation, today was named to Outside Magazine's sixth annual top 100 Best Places to Work list. A successful, fast-growing company, Spectra Logic is committed to supporting a healthy work-life balance for employees. Its location near the Boulder Flatirons gives employees easy access to scenic walking and biking trails right outside their door.

Outside's Best Places to Work project celebrates the innovative companies setting a new standard for a healthy work-life balance. The list was compiled with the help of the Outdoor Industry Association and Best Companies Group.

In addition to its scenic setting in the Boulder Flatirons, Spectra Logic boasts many amenities to support employees' active lifestyles including: an onsite gym, a cafeteria that offers a Weight Watchers entr e each day, an annual fitness challenge to incentivize employees to become more active and physically fit, a free ongoing boot camp led by a personal trainer and yoga classes twice a week.

We are passionate about providing our employees with the best possible benefits and amenities to help them be successful, said Nathan Thompson, Spectra Logic's founder and Chief Executive Officer. We are honored to be recognized by Outside Magazine for our efforts to promote a lifestyle that keeps employees energized and allows them to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Participating companies were sent confidential employee-satisfaction surveys and employer-questionnaires to collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs. The experts at the Best Companies Group then analyzed the results and selected the companies that best enable employees to pursue active lifestyles while also supporting their social and environmental contributions.

Were proud to publicize the efforts of these 100 companies, said Outside editor Christopher Keyes. They each show a real commitment to creating active, healthy work environments and put a premium on innovative benefits. Year after year, Outsides Best Places to Work program demonstrates that Americas most successful companies are the ones that consistently promote true work-life balance for their employees.
