BOSTON (April 18^th, 2025) — The Boston Business Journal has named Baystate Financial to its 2025 Best Places to Work — the BBJ’s exclusive ranking of the Massachusetts companies that have built outstanding work environments for their people.

The 100 companies honored in 2025 range in size and industry, with winners from the technology sector, retail industry, health care space, commercial real estate and more.

“Every day we see new and truly awesome things coming from our growing team of wonderful associates” said Dave Porter, Managing Partner of Baystate Financial. “We believe that Baystate Financial’s greatest strength is its network of talented people, the passion they have for their work, and the collaborative culture they embrace”. “All across New England and Florida, our associates make us a top place to work”.

“The companies that comprise this year’s Best Places to Work are among the most diverse in the decades we’ve been doing this program,” said Carolyn Jones, Market President and Publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “Their commitment to teamwork, employee engagement, flexibility and trust are the model to which the region’s businesses look for inspiration.”

The businesses that met criteria for office location and size participated in employee-engagement surveys distributed by Business Journal partner Quantum Workplace. Employees were asked to rate their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits.

Based on the results of those surveys, businesses were assigned a score out of 100 percent and ranked by Quantum. The top-rated companies are listed in five size categories — extra small (20 to 49 employees), small (50 to 99 employees), medium (100 to 249 employees), large (250 to 499 employees) and extra-large (500 or more).

The Best Places to Work celebration will be held in-person on June 12^th at The Westin Copley Place from 5:30pm – 8:30pm. The special publication will appear in the June 13^th weekly edition of the Boston Business Journal.
