Boardable named among best workplaces

Indianapolis, IN May 30, 2023 – Boardable has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual Best Workplaces list. Featured in the May/June 2023 issue and prominently featured on Inc.com, the list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or a virtual facility.  

Nonprofit boards are responsible for furthering the missions of their organizations, but organizational friction and communication barriers, especially in today’s hybrid work environments, make this increasingly difficult. Boardable is the board management solution designed specifically for nonprofits, by a team that is just as passionate as serving on nonprofit boards as their customers. Boardable’s software helps leaders, administrators, and board members remove friction from collaboration and renew focus on their missions in order to drive more positive change in the world. 

After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 591 honorees this year. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum  Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking. 

Jeff Middlesworth, CEO at Boardable, says “At Boardable, one of our company values is to ‘Live the Mission.’ We live and breathe our mission by serving on boards ourselves because we are passionate about both serving our customers authentically and driving positive change in the world.

“Being named to Best Workplaces is an honor that only a small fraction of companies have been able to claim,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Proving to the world that you’re a  magnet for talent and have a culture that keeps teams engaged, productive, and proud to come  to work is a truly remarkable achievement.”
