Yahoo Earns Top Honors As "Best Place To Work" In Omaha
Yahoo is proud to accept this year’s award for Best Place to Work in Omaha. Announced today by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, we earned the top spot among numerous other large companies (200 employees or more) in the region. The award is determined exclusively based on employee responses to surveys and participation in the Chamber’s program for at least four years.
Since Yahoo opened its doors in Omaha and neighboring La Vista, we’ve strived to create an engaging and inclusive work culture for our employees. Combined, our Omaha and La Vista campuses now boast more than 300 employees and are still growing.
Within our office, employees are able to focus on and excel at the work that inspires them. This is in part due to our creative and fun work space, a mentality to always find ways to do things smarter, better, faster, and a commitment to finding career opportunities.
Our work to foster employee development is not limited to Yahoo’s offices. We also keep our eye on the future with regard to new talent – and with a community focus. Just this last year, Yahoo Omaha invited the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska at Omaha to compete in our first-annual Yahoo Advertising Knock-out Challenge. This was a unique opportunity to match university programs with our marketing needs for talent development. And we’ve started a growing internship program, which will include at least 17 summer interns this year alone.
Coupled with our employees’ ongoing engagement with the community and an expanding data center operation at our La Vista campus, it’s clear we think Omaha and all of Nebraska continue to be an exceptional place to grow our business. Or as we like to call it: home.
As the Chamber of Commerce likes to describe this award, “Best Places to Work” honors superior organizations where voices are heard, cultures are thriving and employees are engaged.” We couldn’t agree more with this philosophy and dedicate this award to the employees who make Yahoo Omaha what it is: this year’s “Best Place to Work.”
