Sparks earns a spot on Event Marketer\u2019s list<\/a> of the 2019 Best Places to Work in Events. The annual Best Places to Work in Events program honors the agencies and partners delivering top work experiences, providing the highest level of employee support, and who have exceptional office environments and cultures across the industry. <\/p>\n

Issuing a call for 2019 Best Places to Work in Events nominations earlier this year (and receiving hundreds of submissions), Event Marketer chooses their top nominees. They then select the winning companies exclusively on the basis of their employees\u2019 responses to an Employee Engagement Survey sent via Quantum Workplace, the leading global employee engagement consultancy. Employee responses dictate each company\u2019s ranking and overall score.<\/p>\n

The consistent theme among the 2019 Best Places to Work in Events? People\u2014specifically, providing support and a space for employees to grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we found this year is that companies are working harder than ever to retain talent, not just with sweet office spaces and competitive benefits packages, but by supporting their people better in their career journeys and personal lives.\u201d notes Event Marketer. \u201cCareer development programs, strong CSR missions, flexible schedules and other offerings related to work\/life balance are among the top reasons employees love their companies. Employees today want to feel they can grow with a company, both professionally and personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sparks<\/a> ranks among the top companies with more than 250 employees with a profile featuring the below perspectives from company employees:<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore coming to Sparks I worked at more than a few companies, both large and small. I have never experienced a company like Sparks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to be a \u2018Sparkie.\u2019\u201d \u201cI have a real sense of belonging here and am impressed by everyone I work with.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWorking here has helped cause a shift in my overall well-being\u2026 I\u2019m growing as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n
