TSYS Named to Computerworld's Annual List of Best Places to Work in Information Technology
Columbus, GA, June 19, 2006 - TSYS, the global payments services company, has been named to IDG’s Computerworld annual listing of “Best Places to Work in IT,” appearing for the first time on the list at No. 50.
“We consider it an honor to be included in the ranks of the most respected leaders in IT,” says Philip W. Tomlinson, chairman and chief executive officer of TSYS. “This survey affirms our company’s core values of treating people right and respecting the worth of every individual, which results in enthusiastic service and loyalty for our clients.”
The Best Places to Work is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals compiled by Computerworld, the “Voice of IT Management.” The lists are compiled based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention. In addition, Computerworld conducts extensive surveys of IT workers, and their responses factor heavily in determining the rankings.
“In recent years, IT executives have been faced with a number of issues that have made their work environments increasingly challenging,” says Don Tennant, editor in chief of Computerworld. “Those represented in the 2006 Best Places to Work program have cultivated an environment that recognizes the value of IT workers within the organization.”
The Best Places to Work feature appears in the June 19 issue of Computerworld and online at computerworld.com.
