NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Built In
NYC recently announced that SevenFifty was honored in its 2021 Best
Places To Work Awards. Specifically, SevenFifty earned a place as
one of 50 Best Small Businesses to work for. The annual awards
include companies of all sizes, from startups to enterprise,
nationally and in the eight largest tech markets.
"We're thrilled to be recognized for the work we've put into
growing a diverse and inclusive community where all of our
employees can thrive professionally," says Aaron Sherman, CEO, SevenFifty. "Being on the
same list as these amazing companies is a testament to the
commitment we've made to growing SevenFifty in a meaningful way for
the people who work here, many of whom come from the beverage
alcohol industry."
SevenFifty founders Aaron Sherman
and Gianfranco Verga come from the
beverage alcohol hospitality space and it has always been their
vision to create a tech company by the drinks industry, for the
drinks industry. Since the company was founded in 2011, they have
brought a hospitality mindset to everything they do, both for
customers and for employees.
The company offers benefits such as WSET certification training,
full individual coverage for medical/dental/vision insurance,
mental and physical wellness programs, flexible work schedules,
unlimited vacation to rest and recover, and a huge focus on
improving diversity, equity, and inclusion—including fair hiring
practices that promote diverse applicants. As a distributed
workforce, SevenFifty puts extra emphasis on the communication and
project management tools they use to increase transparency, to
maintain a strong company culture and work together to create
innovative products for producers, importers, distributors, and
restaurant and retail buyers.
"We are proud to offer an alternative career path for the
skilled professionals in the beverage alcohol industry; 75% of our
leadership team had careers in hospitality (distribution, sales,
on-premise) before joining SevenFifty," says Erin McCann, Vice President of People
Operations, SevenFifty. "We are building a company that serves the
industry we love by finding folks with deep knowledge of how we can
help, from data and software engineers, to beverage product content
specialists, to marketers who know the drinks business. One of our
values is 'Respect the Craft' and we do that by building empathy
with those clients we're privileged to serve."
Built-in decides their annual winners for Best Places to Work
using an algorithm with company data about compensation, benefits,
and cultural programs. To reflect the attributes candidates are
searching for on Built In today, this year's program weighted
certain criteria more heavily, like remote opportunities and
programs for diversity, equity, and inclusion. While SevenFifty was
founded in New York City, they
have been fully remote since December
2019 and emphasize diversity in hiring, especially hiring
from within the beverage alcohol industry. These forward-thinking
practices have been commonplace in SevenFifty's culture before the
world pushed toward these changes.
"These companies raise the bar for cultural excellence and the
ability to adapt to meet changing needs of employees," says
Sheridan Orr, Chief Marketing
Officer, Built In. "The 2021 winners show a commitment not just to
creating meaningful cultures but to delivering talent needs as they
change in a dynamic landscape. We're thrilled to extend our
congratulations to the winners."
