For Immediate Release

GREENVILLE, Texas – May 10, 2022 – Sphero has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual Best Workplaces list. Featured in the May/June 2022 issue, hitting newsstands on May 17, 2022, and prominently featured on Inc.com, the list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or virtual facility.

Sphero is the industry leader in EdTech programmable robots, standards-aligned computer science curriculum, and STEAM-based educational tools, making learning fun and engaging for millions of students and educators worldwide. 

After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 475 honorees this year. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.

“The recognition of Sphero as an Inc. Best Workplace in 2022 is a proud achievement for the entire organization,” says Sphero CEO Paul Copioli. “While the leadership team strives to provide rewarding perks and benefits, as well as a flexible and inclusive working environment, it really comes down to building a team who is dedicated to our mission, values, and culture to make this a great place to work every day.” 

“Not long ago, the term ‘best workplace’ would have conjured up images of open-office designs with stocked snack fridges,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Yet given the widespread adoption of remote work, the concept of the workplace has shifted. This year, Inc. has recognized the organizations dedicated to redefining and enriching the workplace in the face of the pandemic.”
