(November 15, 2005) Fox 26 News Houston honored Bridgeway Software today as a family-friendly company. Bridgeway invites its clients, partners and employees to view the story at http://www.bridge-way.com/news/2005/11/in the about us/career opportunities section.
Bridgeway employees enjoy flexible hours, a comprehensive benefits program, 401(k) matching, as well as a child-friendly attitude. Monthly staff lunches include team building games and "Can Do" awards to recognize employees for their achievements and dedication.
Pat O'Donnell, founder and president at Bridgeway commented on the family-friendly environment, "When we started this company, we had small children, and it never occurred to us to operate any other way," he said. "Our employees are our most valuable asset and we recognize the need to balance family and work."
A play room offers puzzles, books, movies, games and stuffed animals for visiting children. Family emergencies are not ignored because of meetings, and moms and dads may be seen giving after-school hugs while on conference calls.
Compassion among Bridgeway employees is not uncommon either. Recently, two daughters of a Bridgeway employee held a bake sale in the company kitchen to buy their baby sister a new wheelchair. This type of caring atmosphere illustrates Bridgeway's family philosophy.
"We strive to build long-term relationships with employees and clients," said O'Donnell, "And, we believe that work is an important part of a balanced life and should be a source of fulfillment, meaning, recognition and growth."
