Cerulli Associates, a research and consulting firm based in Boston, has been named one of the 2024 Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the 17th annual, employee-based survey from The Boston Globe. The Top Places to Work issue publishes online at globe.com/topplaces on the evening of Wednesday, December 4 and in Globe Magazine on Sunday, December 8.

Top Places to Work recognizes the most admired workplaces in the state voted on by the people who know them best—their employees. The survey measures employee opinions about their company’s direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay, benefits, and engagement. The employers are placed into one of four groups: small, with 50 to 99 employees; medium, with 100 to 249 workers; large, with 250 to 999 staff members; and largest, with a workforce of 1,000 or more employees.

Cerulli Associates ranks No. 15 in the small company (50 to 99 employees) category.

For over 30 years, Cerulli Associates has maintained a people-centric approach, offering generous benefits to employees and creating an office environment that inspires creativity and camaraderie. Regular company events and group outings are just some of the many ways Cerulli sustains a strong office culture.

The company is also dedicated to providing employees opportunities to serve the community and the environment. Its corporate initiative known as ‘Cerulli Cares’ helps employees give back to the Greater Boston community through monthly volunteer events. In the office, the organization encourages employees to implement sustainable practices, such as composting, recycling, and waste reduction.

“We’re extremely proud to win this award for two consecutive years,” said founder and CEO Kurt Cerulli. “It’s a testament to our people who embody our values of respect and collaboration and to the dynamic culture we have maintained for over 30 years. The environment we've cultivated empowers our employees and creates the best possible outcomes for our clients.”

“The best employers pay attention to the many ways work changes – and the many ways it stays the same – and figure out how to keep people engaged and motivated through it all,” said Katie Johnston, the Globe’s Top Places to Work editor.

The rankings in Top Places to Work are based on confidential survey information collected by Energage (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from nearly 68,000 employees at 323 Massachusetts organizations. The winners are constantly working to improve their workplaces, from making meetings more manageable in a virtual environment to pairing up new hires with more seasoned “buddies.”
