Nutshell Named a 2022 ‘Best Place to Work in Midwest Tech’ by Purpose Jobs

Michigan-Based Growth Software Company Honored for Its Commitment to Employee Growth Opportunities, Benefits, and Workplace Inclusion

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nutshell, the all-in-one sales and marketing platform serving small- and medium-sized businesses worldwide, has been named to Purpose Jobs’ “100 Best Places to Work in Midwest Tech 2022” list.

The list focuses on companies headquartered and currently hiring across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and the honorees were included based on employee benefits, growth opportunities, commitment to people, and mission.

“Being included on Purpose Jobs’ list of the Best Places to Work in 2022 is a huge honor because creating an inclusive, supportive work environment for our team is our highest priority,” said Andy Fowler, Nutshell’s CEO and co-founder. “We put our team members’ well-being and professional growth first, and strive to create a space where Nutshellers of all backgrounds can accomplish amazing things.”

“Our company has lost very few team members to ‘The Great Resignation’ and we think that has a lot to do with how we treat people, from the benefits and work flexibility we offer to the potential for advancement available to all employees,” Fowler added.

Recently, Nutshell has made a number of improvements to its employee benefits package in order to support the needs of an increasingly diverse team. The company has also been working to redefine its shared vision, mission, and values in order to maintain an impeccable company culture, even in the remote-work era.

“The office perks of the past aren’t cutting it anymore,” said Ryan Landau, founder and CEO of Purpose Jobs, the Midwest’s largest startup and tech community. “Top candidates across the globe are looking for mission-driven organizations that put their people first. That’s what it means to be a best place to work.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
