Texas' leader in payroll and HR solutions won 1st place in the Small Business category for the Houston Business Journal's (HBJ) 2017 Best Places to Work. "We are honored and excited to be named the Winner of the Houston Business Journal's Best Places to Work!" said Matt Umholtz, Founder and CEO, PaySphere. "Our team members genuinely love helping our clients succeed and we take great pride in building a culture for all of our employees to thrive."

PaySphere's first entry, in 2016, garnered a 2nd place award in the same category, and their whole team wanted to do even better this year. Matt stated "Frankly, I wasn't sure that we would do this well in 2017. We were having a great year, but when Hurricane Harvey hit it was a little tough for all of us. Our whole office flooded with nearly two feet of water, and we moved to temporary space until our new offices were ready. But, this is a great group that just wouldn't give up." PaySphere prides itself on their open and family-like culture. Matt continued, "We all worked together as a real team to find the best ways to help our Texas based clients get back to business as usual. It makes us all feel good to help each other and our clients."

The best place to work finalists were selected based on direct employee survey feedback from thousands of companies across the greater Houston area. The survey evaluated 10 core areas of employee engagement, including teamwork, retention, alignment with goals, trust with coworkers, individual contribution, manager effectiveness, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, job satisfaction, and compensation/benefits.
