Ellie Mae – Bay Area’s Best Places to Work Winner

Ellie Mae, a leading provider of innovative on-demand software solutions and services for the residential mortgage industry, today announced that it has been recognized as a winner of the 2016 Bay Area Best Places to Work, an awards program presented by the San Francisco Business Times and the Silicon Valley Business Journal. This is the fourth time that Ellie Mae was honored in the large company category (250-900 employees).

Ellie Mae was included among the winning organizations honored for having created exceptional workplaces that their employees value highly.

This is not at all a surprise to us. Ellie Mae has been an LSA Global for the last four years and they believe in the business value of creating a:

• Clear, believable and implementable business strategy
• High performance corporate culture
• Differentiated workforce

We began our work with them when they were experiencing high growth that almost quadrupled their workforce within a two-year period. Initially LSA Global designed a customized leadership development curriculum and conducted a company-wide employee engagement survey to measure levels of employee advocacy, discretionary effort, and intent to stay.

Based on what we learned, we recommended actions on 10 key engagement drivers and adapted the leadership program to address key development gaps in the areas of accountability, communication, teamwork, management, performance, and productivity.

Clearly Ellie Mae believes in investing in their people. Their well-crafted and wisely executed investment continues to pay off through highly engaged employees, sound strategies and the talent they need to succeed. Congratulations to a valued client!
