Tech in Motion Recognizes MetTel with Timmy Award Winner for Best Tech Workplace Diversity
NEW YORK, November 4, 2019 – For the second year in a row, Tech in Motion has recognized MetTel as one of the most diverse companies in technology with this year’s Best Tech Workplace for Diversity in NYC award in the 5th Annual Timmy Awards.
MetTel had the most votes out of 40,000 votes from the Tech in Motion community, which recognizes the top places for tech professionals to work in ten cities across North America. Other finalists in the diversity category for New York included Boingo Wireless, Button, Inc, VirtualHealth and Convene. Finalists for diversity in other cities include IBM, Akamai Technologies, Accenture, Nielsen and Capitol One among others.
MetTel is a global and highly decorated New York success story with many awards, including the GSA $50 billion Enterprise Infrastructure (EIS) contract, annual recognition in the Gartner Market Guide for SD-WAN and numerous technology and customer service awards. Earlier this month, the Pentagon announced that it has tapped MetTel to upgrade wireless services and devices for the United States Department of Defense (DoD), including the Navy, Marine Corps, Army and Air Force service members as well as other federal, non-military agencies throughout the United States. Also this month, the New York State Office of General Services (OGS) awarded MetTel as one of several companies on its Centralized Contract for Telecommunication Connectivity Services to provide the state with Mobility, Voice and Data Services.
At MetTel, our Business IS Thinking Differently
“At MetTel, we believe our diverse workplace produces the best solutions for our diverse customer base,” said Liza Klein, HR Business Partner at MetTel. “Just as our customers want customized technology developed for their unique needs, MetTel’s diverse team brings new perspectives and an innovative approach to developing solutions that exceed customer expectations.”
Hiring people with different management styles, diverse cultural and work/life experiences and the right skill sets produces the best teams. “When you focus on hiring people who are passionate about their work, regardless of their cultural background, you will attract the talent to drive great teamwork, innovation and growth,” Klein added.
MetTel believes there are three core values to the best workplace:

From customer service to solution architects to sales and consulting specialists and many other professional positions, MetTel encourages the free exchange of ideas.
Promotion based performance – Promoting employees internally is an integral part of our philosophy. Advancement at MetTel is based on performance and creative problem solving.
Ability to change – Agility is vital in the IT communications industry. MetTel continually offers new technologies and solutions to customers. This is made possible by a workforce that is adaptable, flexible and versed in currently in-demand skillsets.
