ST. PETERSBURG, Fl.--()--Spirion, a pioneer in data protection and compliance, today announced it has earned a Great Place to Work Certification.

"The data protection and privacy industry move at a breakneck pace. Organizations that succeed in this cutting-edge technology area need to innovate their culture along with their product" says Ryan O'Leary, Research Manager for Privacy and Legal Technology at IDC. "Spirion understands that the people behind the product matter just as much as the product itself and is positioned to continue to grow in this strong market.”

Great Place to Work®, is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation. Since 1992, the organization has surveyed more than 100 million employees worldwide and used those deep insights to define what makes a great workplace.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by our employees and Great Place to Work for our high-quality work experience and employee well-being. We value our employees and recognize the benefits of prioritizing wellness by implementing summer hours and mandatory shutdowns for instance,” said Kevin Coppins, CEO and president, Spirion. “The Spirion team is united by our meaningful mission to protect what matters most―the sensitive personal data of our colleagues, customers, and communities. We each bring our authentic selves to work and value the individual above all else focused on the impact made versus activity.”

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93 percent more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits, and have a fair chance at promotion.

“Great Place to Work Certification isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Spirion is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”
