“We actively promote the health, wellness and professional growth of our team members. As such, we are thrilled to have earned Outside Magazine’s recognition as a Best Place to Work for the third time,” said Rick Stollmeyer, CEO and Co-founder of MINDBODY. “Working at MINDBODY is about much more than earning a paycheck. Our goal is to enable our team members to live lives full of purpose, meaning and growth.”
Outside Magazine’s List is determined through employee-satisfaction surveys that collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives and community outreach programs. All of the results are analyzed by Best Companies Group experts, who select companies that best empower their employees to live active and balanced lives.
