Kirkland, Wa - The public spoke, and Kirkland-based technology and personnel firm Allyis, came out as a top finalist in the Seattle Times' NWjobs' 2008 People's Picks Awards in six categories. The company, founded in 1996, was a top choice in the following categories; Favorite Eastside Company, Best Benefits, Most Family-Friendly, Most Eco-Friendly, Best Office Party and Most Unusual Perks.
Allyis, which has also been listed as one of the Puget Sound Area's Fastest Growing Private Companies by the Puget Sound Business Journal consecutively since 2004, builds workplace technology solutions that help businesses manage knowledge, operate more effectively, improve communication and streamline business processes.
"Our employees are our business," said Ethan Yarbrough, president, Allyis. "Their exceptional talent, technical expertise and tenacious work ethic are what allow us to serve our clients and surpass expectations on each project we undertake," Yarbrough said. "Our employees show our clients and Allyis tremendous dedication and energy every single day. We have a responsibility to do what we can to show our appreciation to our employees and we're committed to providing benefits and perks that appropriately acknowledge and reward their contributions."
From its annual Santa Party for employees and their children, to childcare reimbursement and onsite composting, Allyis works to ensure employees' personal lives and values are complemented by their work life, and not at odds with each other.
In 2007, Allyis was ranked as a finalist in four People's Picks award categories.

About NWjobs People's Picks
NWjobs teamed up with the Puget Sound public to show local employers what they value in the workplace. From September 26 - October 22, they asked site visitors to vote daily for their favorite local employers in more than 30 unique categories.
On each category page, visitors entered their vote into the text box or chose from a random list of other readers' suggestions. Nominated businesses were required to have at least one paid employee other than the business owner. All voters were required to enter a code at the bottom of each page. This assured that the votes were cast by real people and not a computer program. All valid votes were counted. If organizers couldn't recognize a vote as a legitimate entry, or if it didn't fit within the category, they reserved the right to discard it. NWjobs further reserved the right to make final editorial decisions in cases of multiple ties. No special preference was given to advertisers or any business patronized by The Seattle Times Company or the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. NWjobs reserved the right to disqualify from the competition any businesses or individuals who attempted to unfairly influence the outcome.
