PixelMEDIA Named Coolest Company for Young Professionals, Shows Why at Awards Ceremony
Portsmouth, NH, November 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- PixelMEDIA inc., New Hampshire’s largest interactive media agency has been named “Coolest Company for Young Professionals” in the mid-size company category. The award, sponsored by New Hampshire Business Magazine and the Stay Work Play Initiative, recognizes companies who cultivate work environments that attract and retain young employees (40 and under) by providing mentoring programs, professional development opportunities, and creating an overall workplace culture that contributes to the success of its employees.
CEO Erik Dodier livened up the ceremony at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord, NH by accepting the award wearing a disco wig and sunglasses- which he stated to be the only cool things he owned. Dodier pushed the young people in the audience to “move forward in business, by trying something new without fear of standing out,” indicating that those risk takers are often rewarded with the most satisfaction.
PixelMEDIA, which has been operating in the Seacoast area for over 17 years, received the title as “Coolest Company for Young Professionals” for the many policies it has implemented to encourage its employees to grow professionally while maintaining a work life balance. Included in these efforts are individualized development plans, multiple reward programs, employee involvement in the annual planning process, and opportunities to give back to the community, as well as flex time and work from home policies. To promote fun in the workplace, PixelMEDIA has an X-Box, ping pong table, guitars, and bicycles available for employee use. Additionally, employees are encouraged to decorate their own work areas to reflect their personal interests.
“To me the beauty of working here is I can explore in multiple directions and expand my skill set according to where the company and our industry are going, not by climbing a corporate ladder from one pre-defined rung to the next. I’m encouraged to try my best, given the freedom to make the tough decisions, and compensated generously for the effort I contribute,” states Megan Fields, an Information Architect at PixelMEDIA.
The award was provided to one winner in each of three categories: Large companies (126 or more employees), Medium companies (51 to 125 employees) and Small companies (less than 50 employees). This is the second NH Business Magazine award for PixelMEDIA in 2011, as the company was recognized as Business of the Year in the Business Services category earlier this year.
