“The attributes that define what makes great workplaces and leaders have not changed in 2020,” said Comparably CEO Jason Nazar. “The names on the list of Best CEOs and Best Company Cultures invest just as much in the growth of the business as they do in their employees, and Everbridge is no exception. Workers specifically applaud David Meredith’s strong mission-driven leadership, and the company’s focus on inclusivity and transparency during the pandemic.”

Comparably, a leading workplace culture and compensation site with a mission to make workplaces more transparent and rewarding, generates nearly 10 million ratings from employees across 60,000 U.S. companies. Comparably represents one of the most trusted third-party sites for workplace culture and company leadership.

“As a mission-driven company providing technology to keep people safe and organizations running for thousands of corporate, government and healthcare customers around the globe, we pride ourselves on creating a collaborative, transparent, and inclusive working environment,” said Cara Antonacci, Head of the Everbridge People Team.  “Supported by the leadership of our CEO David Meredith, these two awards underscore Everbridge’s success in creating a highly productive, empowering and fun company culture that continues to attract the best talent around the world as we develop life-saving technology and solutions.” 

Everbridge employees (also known as “Bridgers”) volunteered the following feedback about the company:

• “The culture focuses on the mission of keeping people safe and organizations running. The overall company success and rapid growth means you can do well by doing good.”
• “Our team is very mission-focused around keeping people safe. From helping residents, patients, employees and their organizations when it matters most, our team steps up to the plate.”
• “The leadership team has infectious energy and drive. It’s also clear that they strive to create a compassionate and inclusive work environment.”
• “To be a Bridger means you are part of a family that cares and wants to support you and our diverse employment population.”
• “The leadership team is driven, insightful, knowledgeable and compassionate. They are making strategic decisions to continue organizational growth but don’t lose sight of employees wellbeing and culture.”

Since the beginning of 2020, and the onset of the pandemic, Everbridge ensured a safe, global workplace environment while continuing to bolster company culture through virtual wellness workshops and new channels for employees to communicate with one another remotely.  Everbridge employees across the globe leverage volunteer time off (VTO) to participate in community-service activities with organizations including Team Rubicon, Cradles to Crayons, Habitat for Humanity, Wrap Up London, LA Food Bank, as well as supporting the CDC Foundation, which Everbridge partnered with in April 2020. As part of its Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging initiatives, Everbridge employee resource groups are dedicated to celebrating and empowering communities within the company including women, employees of color, LGBTQ, and members of the military and first responders.
