Boston Business Journal Names William James College One of Massachusetts 2026 Best Places to Work

BOSTON, MA (July 15, 2026)   For the second year in a row, the Boston Business Journal has named William James College to its 2026 Best Places to Work — the BBJ’s exclusive ranking of the Massachusetts companies that have built outstanding work environments for their people.

The 90 companies honored in 2026 range in size and industry, with winners from the technology sector, retail industry, health care space, commercial real estate and more. 

“We are honored to receive this recognition for a second consecutive year,” said Nicholas Covino, William James College President. “Our mission is centered on helping individuals and organizations thrive, and this award reflects the culture of collaboration, inclusion, and purpose that our employees create every day. Thank you to the BBJ for continuing to emphasize the importance of supporting our dedicated employees.”

The businesses that met criteria for office location and size participated in employee-engagement surveys distributed by Business Journal partner Quantum Workplace. Employees were asked to rate their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits. 

Based on the results of those surveys, businesses were assigned a score out of 100 percent and ranked by Quantum. The top-rated companies are listed in five size categories — extra small (20 to 49 employees), small (50 to 99 employees), medium (100 to 249 employees), large (250 to 499 employees) and extra-large (500 or more).

William James College received the #6 place in the large company category (250-499 employees) and received a score of 88%.

"This year’s companies once again have set the bar for employees looking to retain their top talent,” said Carolyn Jones, Market President and Publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “In such a competitive hiring environment, the Best Places to Work employers continue to outshine their peers and competitors.”
