For the Ninth Year in a Row, Ascend Continues to Prioritize Employee Experiences and Satisfaction
Ascend, Inc. (formerly HRMS Solutions and ATS Management Consulting) is proud to be certified as a Great Place To Work® 2024 and for the ninth year in a row. This prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Ascend. This year, 99% of employees said it’s a great place to work – 42 points higher than the average U.S. company.
“We’re honored to be recertified as a Great Place to Work! This achievement underscores our team members’ dedication to excellence and the collaborative culture we’re building together,” said Lou Sylaj, CEO of Ascend. “We’re happy to be recognized for our commitment to employee well-being, work/life flexibility, and growth year after year.”
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Ascend stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
According to Great Place To Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
Mike Maiorino, President & COO of Ascend added, “For nine consecutive years, our team members have consistently rated us as a Great Place to Work. Their feedback drives us to continually improve and create an exceptional workplace culture. We’re excited to continue nurturing a culture of trust, innovation, ownership, and continuous improvement; creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to do what’s best for our clients, each other, and the organization.”
ASCEND TEAM MEMBERS SAY IT BEST – WHY ASCEND IS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK

This is all handled with great respect.”
