Peer 1 Hosting Recognized for Dedication to Developing Company Culture and Educating Community

Peer 1 Hosting, the global Web infrastructure and cloud hosting provider, is finishing 2014 with accolades from two leading awards programs, the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards and the Best in Biz Awards.

The 2015 Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards recognized Peer 1 as one of the 50 best places to work in the U.S., based on employees' input about their work environment. The survey asks employees to rate their satisfaction with the company overll, as well as key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation, benefits, work/life balance, senior management, culture and corporate values. This is a meaningful award for Peer 1 as the company encourages employees to bring their authentic selves to work.

The Best in Biz Awards program awarded Gold to Peer 1 in the PR Campaign of the Year category for its educational campaign about the true impact of the NSA scandal, which investigated and reported on how individuals and organizations alike can protect their privacy. Winners were selected by a panel of judges from highly regarded U.S. news outlets, including Bloomberg (News - Alert) Businessweek, Fortune and USA Today. Peer 1's second Best in Biz award in a row, this win underlines the importance and efficacy of Peer 1's efforts to continuously bring value to its community of users regarding issues that impact their business.

"Our purpose at Peer 1 is to be the most human company on the Internet, and fulfilling that purpose starts at home with our own peers," said Sheila Bouman, executive vice president and managing director, Peer 1. "We strive to create a supportive, caring environment that encourages growth and meaningful interactions, and winning an award based on our own employee feedback is incredibly significant to us. Along with our efforts to make Peer 1 a company that our peers are proud to work for, our work to educate the community about the effects of the NSA scandal also supports our purpose. I am thrilled to close out 2014 with these strong accolades, and look forward to achieving even more in 2015."
