Outside Magazine Names BUMP Network One Of America’s Best Places To Work In 2012

LA JOLLA, CA – BUMP Network has been named to Outside Magazine’s fifth annual “Best Places to Work” list.  BUMP Network, a software company providing a SAAS platform for membership and data management was ranked 46th out of 100 selected companies. The complete list can be found in the September issue of Outside now on newsstands.

“We are honored that BUMP was selected,” said BUMP’s founder and CEO, Mitch Thrower. The healthy, forward-thinking work environment at BUMP reflects Thrower’s own athletic background as a 22-time Ironman triathlon finisher and the co-founder of several successful software companies.  “BUMP is not only located in a beautiful place, but it also rewards employees with flexible hours for strategy sessions during bike rides, runs along the California coast and rooftop yoga sessions. Our people work incredibly hard and they spend long hours here - often late into the night and on weekends - so we encourage them to find a balance,” added Thrower.

Outside’s “Best Places to Work” project celebrates the innovative companies setting a new standard for a healthy work-life balance. The list was compiled with the help of th e Outdoor Industry Association and Best Companies Group that identified a wide range of non-profit and for-profit organizations in the United States.Participating companies were sent confidential employee-satisfaction surveys and employer-questionnaires to collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs. The experts at the Best Companies Group then analyzed the results and selected the companies that best enable employees to pursue active lifestyles while also supporting their social and environmental contributions.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate all 100 of these forward-thinking companies,” says Michael Roberts, Senior Executive Editor of Outside. “They believe success depends on helping their employees live more active and fulfilling lives. The kinds of benefits they’re providing—free fitness classes, flexible hours, subsidized healthy meals, lots of time out of the office—result in a more productive and engaged staff.”
