VC3 Earns 2024 Great Place To Work Certification™

Columbia, SC and Edmonton, AB — VC3, a leading managed IT and cybersecurity services provider, is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the fourth year in a row. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at VC3. This year, 84% of employees said it’s a great place To Work – 27 points higher than the average U.S. company. 

Employees especially emphasized that people on their teams make their work meaningful. Some notable highlights included: 

• 94% of employees said they are given a lot of responsibility. 
• 92% of employees said management trusts people to do a good job without micromanaging. 
• 92% of employees said people care about each other at VC3. 
• 92% of employees said they were made to feel welcome when they joined the company. 
• 91% of employees said they could be themselves at VC3. 

“Employee engagement is essential for collaboration within companies,” said Chief People Officer Jen Zaroski. “I’m so happy that VC3 prides itself on a great employee experience that we can tangibly see through the results of this survey. Companies can make strategic decisions all day, but they cannot mandate a culture where employees feel that we care about each other, welcome each other, and feel entrusted to do their jobs. Such a culture is part of VC3’s DNA, and I’m proud to work with such a great team.” 

VC3 has experienced fast-paced growth and many acquisitions over the last few years, and it can be difficult for such organizations to make newly acquired teams feel included and welcome. Through remote work flexibility, regular company and team meetings, in-person and remote events, professional development, and monthly learning sessions focused on team building, VC3 works hard to accommodate and include all employees in a culture that feels like a tight-knit in-person office. 

"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that VC3 stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees." 

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% 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.
