Monotype Named “Top Place to Work” by The Boston Globe

WOBURN, Mass., December 5th, 2024 — Monotype Imaging Inc., a global leader in type design and technology, has been recognized by The Boston Globe as one of the top places to work in Massachusetts. The Top Places to Work awards celebrate the most admired workplaces in the state voted on by the people who know them best — their employees. 

“We are thrilled that our team have recognized Monotype as a Top Place to Work. It is a commendation of the fantastic work culture we’ve built together. The dedication, collaboration and camaraderie of our global team makes Monotype a truly great place to work and thrive. Our employees are the heart of everything we do,” said Michelle Kelly-Donohue, Chief Human Resources Officer at Monotype. 

Each year, The Boston Globe releases its list of best workplaces based on confidential employee survey data collected by Energage, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention. This year’s employee engagement survey was taken by nearly 68,000 employees at 323 Massachusetts organizations. The survey measures employee opinions about their employer’s direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay benefits, and engagement.

Monotype was awarded Top Place to Work in the large employer category, for companies with 250 to 999 employees. Based in Woburn, Massachusetts, Monotype also has offices in Portland, Berlin, London, Noida, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taipei, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Paris, with remote and hybrid employees spread across the globe. 

Monotype was also named “One of the Most Innovative Companies in Design” by Fast Company earlier this year. As a global technology and design company, Monotype encourages collaboration and co-creation across its close-knit teams, embracing and driving innovation across the industry. 

“The best employers pay attention to the many ways work changes — and the many ways it stays the same — and figure out how to keep people engaged and motivated through it all,” said Katie Johnston, The Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work editor. 

Monotype employees specifically highlighted that they felt respected and supported at Monotype, have supportive managers who encourage different points of view, and that their jobs feel meaningful.

This is the 17th year for the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts awards. The complete list of awardees is available online and will be published in The Boston Globe Sunday Globe Magazine in a special edition on Sunday, December 8.
