Allyis manages technology projects and personnel needs for enterprise clients and governmental agencies in the Pacific Northwest.
Ethan Yarbrough, Allyis COO and co-founder says, “Allyis was built on the principle that every employee should be treated as an individual with needs and passions outside of work and we strive very hard to support them in that respect. We are proud to be recognized by Washington CEO as one of the state’s best companies to work for, and we thank every single Allyis employee whose candid feedback helped make this award possible.”
The 150 companies that entered the 2006 Best Company to Work for award program, included small, medium, and large companies, government agencies and not-for-profit organizations. Criteria for inclusion on the list included employee loyalty and retention, benefits, compensation, leadership and employee satisfaction. Washington CEO surveyed the employees at all nominated companies, aggregating responses from all levels within each company.
Allyis demonstrates ongoing strength in developing an extraordinary workplace, and remains committed to cultivating leadership and innovation among its staff. “Working for Allyis is a human resource professional’s dream job,” said Mark Hewitt, director of human resources. “It’s a company that focuses on the human aspect first in every business decision it makes, which is something I frankly have never seen anywhere else.”
Communication, employee satisfaction and accountability are among the company’s top priorities, with senior management meeting regularly with all employees to discuss workplace issues and individual success.
