Many students have had positive learning experiences at Stevens, but is it a great place to work? According to Patch, Stevens Institute of Technology has been certified by “Great Place to Work,” the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation. The organization is recognized worldwide by employees and employers alike and is the global benchmark for identifying and recognizing outstanding employee experience. And it’s not something that comes easy — according to Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place to Work, “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Stevens Institute of Technology is one of the best companies to work for in the country.” Patch says that Stevens is a university on the rise. Its community of more than 1,000 faculty and staff work together to create a learning environment where students are inspired and equipped to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems.

According to the “Great Place to Work,” 75% of employees at Stevens Institute of Technology say it is a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. Of those employees, 87% of them said people here are given a lot of responsibility, 84% of them said that they’re proud to tell others they work here, 83% said that when they look at what we accomplish, they feel a sense of pride, 81% said that they are able to take time off from work when they think it’s necessary, and 81% said they feel good about the ways we contribute to the community.

According to President Farvardin, “We owe our continued success to Stevens’ dedicated faculty and staff, who earned this incredible recognition with their voices and excellent service. Continuing to strengthen our university culture is a high priority of our new strategic plan, and I am confident we will continue to make progress in the coming years.”

Sheraine Gilliam, Vice President and Chief Human Resources officer at Stevens, said “These are exciting times at Stevens. There is an undeniable familial feeling that draws you into the culture here. Everyone is committed to excellence in citizenship and performance, which makes Stevens a ‘Great Place to Work.’ I am excited to work with this community and build on the momentum, focus on areas of opportunity and continue to let the world know just how amazing Stevens is.”
