Woodland Hills, Calif. (November 10, 2016) – Total Merchant Services, a leader in payment services and solutions, today announced that it ranks #8 in Fortune Magazine’s Best Medium Workplaces. Earlier this year, the company was ranked #9 on the Best Places to Work in Finance and Insurance list and #31 among the 100 Best Workplaces for Women. All rankings are determined by employee surveys from Great Place to Work-Certified companies.
Companies on the Best Medium Workplaces list are ranked based on input from more than 52,000 employees. The majority of employees answered favorably when asked to evaluate the honesty and quality of communication by managers, degree of support for employees’ personal and professional lives and the authenticity of relationships with colleagues. Based on these assessments, Total Merchant Services was ranked as one of the top ten best places to work among medium-sized businesses.
Total Merchant Services was the only payment processing company that made it onto Fortune Magazine’s Best Workplaces in Finance and Insurance list, with its #9 ranking based on feedback from employees regarding trust, camaraderie and respectful treatment.
Based on surveys of 137,762 women, the 100 Best Workplaces for Women list showcases companies where female employees have a voice and their efforts are appropriately acknowledged in the workplace. Total Merchant Services earned its #31 ranking by providing women equitable pay and opportunities to advance their careers.
“We’ve worked hard to build a culture of teamwork, flexibility, open communication, and equality,” said Joe Kaplan, CEO of Total Merchant Services. “Being featured on these lists is an honor and validation that we are reaching our goals as an organization to make Total Merchant Services a place where employees enjoy going to work every day.”
