Public Interest Registry Named as a ‘Best Place to Work’ in Washington, DC

RESTON, VA – Public Interest Registry (PIR), the people behind the .ORG domain name, has been selected by The Washington Business Journal as one of the Top 10 Best Places to Work for 2020. PIR was selected because of its culture of caring and respect, its deeply held mission, and its commitment to honoring its people.

The Best Place to Work awards celebrate Washington, DC area companies that prioritize  organizational culture, creating strong connections to the workplace for employees.

“As an exemplary domain name registry, PIR believes in putting our people first and fostering a culture of caring, inclusiveness and respect,” said Jon Nevett, CEO of Public Interest Registry.  “As a result, we have an incredible team of people united behind the mission of expanding .ORGs worldwide and committed to providing the support and resources our community needs to make the world a better place.  We are honored to receive this award and will continue to work every day to make PIR one of the best places to work anywhere.”

PIR’s culture includes a bold commitment to its global mission of supporting .ORGs, and a fundamental belief that each employee is a whole person, and is to be respected and valued as such.

The Best Places to Work Awards are determined based on a quantitative survey of Washington-area employees, administered by a third-party organization.  Respondents were asked to rank their organization on qualities such as team effectiveness, trust in senior leaders and coworkers, manager effectiveness, communication, work-life balance and alignment with company goals.

The Washington Business Journal honored PIR at a virtual event held on Thursday, August 27, 2020.
