ROCHE BROS. NAMED AMONG "TOP PLACES TO WORK 2013" IN MASSACHUSETTS

Wellesley Hills, MA (November 26, 2013) - Roche Bros. was named as a top employer by the Boston Globe as part of its Top Places to Work for 2013 – ranking no. 18 for large companies of 1,000 or more employees.  Roche Bros. was the only food/grocery related company to appear on the list.

Each year, the Boston Globe honors Massachusetts’ best employers in its Top Places to Work magazine, which appeared in The Boston Sunday Globe on November 17 and is featured online at BostonGlobe.com and Boston.com.

For six years, this popular 48-page magazine has honored the state’s most beloved workplaces based on surveys completed by the people who know them the best -- the employees themselves.  Roche Bros. is proud to have made that list for each of those six years.

The Boston Globe’s 2013 Top Places to Work survey, conducted by employee survey firm WorkplaceDynamics, measured more than 76,000 individuals’ responses to statements regarding six key factors related to employee happiness, including company direction, execution, employee connection, work load and responsibility, management, and pay and benefits. Least important were pay, benefits and work-life balance, with survey subjects placing much higher importance on employee appreciation, confidence and feeling that their work is meaningful.  WorkplaceDynamics also found that of all the cities surveyed, employees in Boston were most enthusiastic about their companies, making Boston the top of the Top Places to Work.  

Headquartered in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Roche Bros. is an independent, family owned chain of full-service supermarkets.  Founded in 1952 in Roslindale, Massachusetts, the company now employs more than 4,600 full and part-time employees across 18 stores located throughout Greater Boston, Metro-West and Southern Massachusetts. Roche Bros. continues to seek talented associates to join their award winning team.   For more information and to apply online visit www.rochebros.com.
