Blackbaud, the global cloud software company powering social good, announced that it has been named to Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators list, honoring businesses and organizations that demonstrate a deep commitment to encouraging innovation at all levels.
Blackbaud is joined by other high-profile companies, including Google, Dell and Alibaba, on Fast Company’s second annual list. To create its roster of Best Workplaces for Innovators, Fast Company collaborated with Accenture to find companies that empower all employees – not just top executives, scientists or coders – to create new products, improve operations and take risks.
“At Blackbaud, all of our employees are encouraged to be innovative and think bigger for the social good—in fact, it’s one of our company values: We invent possibilities,” said Mike Gianoni, president and CEO, Blackbaud. “That value comes to life across our global organization, as employees constantly innovate to discover the next great thing that will help our customers and one another succeed. Honors like being named to Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators list are a testament to the culture of innovation that we have built—one where our employees thrive, creating new solutions for our customers to drive impact for social good.”
Blackbaud invests heavily in technology to deliver the most innovative and high-performing solutions possible to drive impact in the world. In 2019, Blackbaud invested over $135 million in research and development in order to continually innovate for the social good sector and deliver the most advanced technology possible infused with analytics to help social good organizations make data-informed decisions. Blackbaud SKY, its platform for innovation, continues to power an unprecedented level of innovation by Blackbaud’s engineers and enables a growing ecosystem of developers.
“As much of the world recovers from health, economic and social crises, we need innovation more than ever,” said Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “This new list of the Best Workplaces for Innovators celebrates organizations that have fostered innovative thinking by investing in technology, research and development and their employees.”
