Award-Winning Marketing Services and Consulting Firm Singled Out For Its Strong Culture and Enriching Work Environment

BOSTON -- Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE) today announced that it has been named one of The Globe 100's Top Places to Work in the first employee-based survey from The Boston Globe. The recognition places Sapient among the most progressive businesses in Massachusetts based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity, inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, values and ethics.

The survey results were first published in The Globe 100 Top Places to Work magazine included in the November 9th issue of The Boston Sunday Globe. Survey results can also be found online at www.boston.com/business.

The rankings are based on survey information collected by Workplace Dynamics -- an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention -- which surveyed 70,000 employees across 300 Massachusetts-based organizations.

"We are thrilled to be recognized by our own people as one of the best places to work in Massachusetts," said Sapient Chief Executive Officer Alan Herrick. "This is a testament to our strong culture and enriching work environment, which foster both professional excellence and personal growth. These are the reasons why we continue to attract talented, motivated people from top-tier marketing agencies, consulting firms and financial services organizations on a regular basis."

As a global services firm with two distinct service groups - interactive marketing and IT and business consulting - Sapient places tremendous emphasis on attracting and retaining the best talent. The Company recently moved its Boston headquarters to 131 Dartmouth Street, a highly desirable Back Bay location. The hundreds of people who work at Sapient's Boston office represent a potent mix of creative professionals, skilled technologists, experienced business consultants and industry thought leaders.

"All the companies included in The Globe 100's Top Places to Work deserve a great deal of recognition. It's clear that they value their employees and make it a priority to create a positive workplace," said Steve Ainsley, publisher of The Boston Globe.

To qualify for The Globe 100's Top Places to Work, a company must have more than 100 employees in Massachusetts. Nearly 300 qualified companies accepted an invitation to participate. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.
