IDG's Computerworld names Tellabs one of the best places to work in IT for the third year in a row
Naperville, Ill. — IDG's Computerworld, the "Voice of IT Management," selected Tellabs as one of the top workplaces for information technology (IT) professionals. This honor is part of the weekly IT publication's 15th annual Best Places to Work in IT survey, published in the June 30 issue of Computerworld and online at Computerworld.com.
"The competitive edge sought by the best and smartest companies is no longer information technology itself," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "After all, IT has permeated the business processes of almost every department of virtually every enterprise. The new competitive edge is finding and retaining the very best people to chart and implement your IT strategy."
Since 1994, Computerworld's annual "Best Places to Work in IT" feature has ranked the top 100 work environments for technology professionals, based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention. In addition, this year Computerworld surveyed Tellabs IT professionals for the list, and their responses factored heavily in determining the rankings.
"We have a great global team of IT professionals who work hard to challenge and improve our overall effectiveness and contributions to Tellabs," said Jean Holley, executive vice president and chief information officer. "Being on Computerworld's Top 100 list for three years in a row is the result of our team's dedication and Tellabs' ability to attract and keep the best people."
