MCLEAN, Virginia, Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Appian
(NASDAQ: APPN) announced it has been named a Top Workplace in the
Washington, D.C. area
by The Washington Post for the seventh consecutive
year.
"Appian being recognized as a top place to work is a testament
to the culture we've built," said Matt
Calkins, CEO and Founder of Appian. "In 2020, we kept our
culture strong despite working at a distance, we hired vigorously
throughout the pandemic, and we created free applications to help
other firms protect their employees' health. I'm proud of how we
are weathering during a challenging year."
In the midst of a global pandemic, Appian's community has
continued to flourish. Employees have been quick to support each
other, with hundreds of people coming together to help with a
variety of items from locating scarce essential items to aiding
with needs for virtual schooling. Additionally, employees used
Appian's low-code platform to serve the local community. DC Central
Food Kitchen deployed an Appian application to safely bring their
200 employees on-site for a variety of tasks such as food in-take,
meal preparation and food delivery within the community.
Since March, Appian has launched multiple solutions to help
businesses and schools get back to work safely. Within weeks
the Appian team designed, built, and launched a free Workforce
Readiness application to help companies keep their employees safe
from the novel coronavirus. Hundreds of companies downloaded it and
shortly after, Appian launched three additional applications around
COVID-19. These applications are now being used by top companies
around the world, like Volkswagen and the University of South Florida, to keep their
employees and students safe. To learn more about how we are helping

"Now in its seventh year, The Post's Top Workplaces list
continues to highlight the companies that are leaders in the
Washington-area in terms of
employee engagement and satisfaction," said Washington Post Top
Workplaces editor Dion Haynes. "We
had a record number of employees participate in the survey this
year, making it clear that these organizations have made
cultivating an atmosphere of support and respect a priority."
This award is based on employee feedback gathered by research
partner Energage, LLC. The employees provide feedback on several
aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and
connection. For more about The Washington Post's Top Workplaces
