Great Place to Work and FORTUNE have honored KnowBe4 as one of the 2019 Best Medium Workplaces. To determine the 2019 Best Small Workplaces and the 2019 Best Medium Workplaces lists, Great Place to Work® analyzed anonymous survey feedback representing more than 189,000 employees at Great Place to Work-CertifiedTM organizations. Employees responded to more than 60 survey questions anonymously rating their employers. KnowBe4 took the number three spot on the list.
“KnowBe4 is proud to be recognized by our own employees as one of the Best Small/Medium Workplaces in 2019,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “Our employees are treated as business partners and not as mushrooms. We make the commitment to them to be radically transparent, take “extreme ownership” and treat them with complete honesty. I love to come to work and kick butt together with a team of fun, happy people in a positive and open culture.”
“Small and medium-sized businesses have a tremendous influence on the US economy and workforce,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Organizations like KnowBe4 have found the key not only for winning top talent against their larger competitors, but also for playing a leadership role in dramatically improving the day-to-day experience of US labor conditions by creating great workplaces where everyone can succeed regardless of who they are or what job they perform.”
The Best Small Workplaces and Best Medium Workplaces lists are part of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE based on employee feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified™ organizations.
