SAN JOSE, Calif., July 27, 2021 — Xactly, the leader in revenue intelligence solutions, today announced that it has been named a Certified by Great Place to Work company for the eighth year in a row. This prestigious award is based entirely on employee reviews and testimonials, and Xactly ranked 36 percentage points higher than the average U.S. company.

“Being recognized as a Great Place to Work is a testament to the deep commitment our leadership team has to fostering an inclusive workplace, as well as the commitment each of our employees makes to uphold Xactly’s core values in all our offices,” said Chris Cabrera, founder and CEO at Xactly. “The employee experience is a priority for all of us day in and day out, and receiving this honor gives us an opportunity to reflect on our collective work, celebrate our entire team, and renew our commitment to make Xactly the best place to work.”

Throughout the past year, Xactly has prioritized the health of employees and their families. The company adopted a flexible work model, allowing employees to log-on from virtually anywhere and provided a stipend to help employees create productive work spaces at home. It also bolstered wellness and mental health initiatives, offering fitness and nutritional resources, complimentary meditation and yoga sessions, as well as Mental Health Days that encourage employees to disconnect from work. Today, the company continues to offer flexible benefits to its employees so that they have the time and space necessary to take care of themselves and their families.

“Great Place to Work Certification isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Xactly is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

The company also implemented changes to better support employees who continue remote or hybrid work. From online forums that give employees a direct line to Xactly leadership – including an “Ask the CEO” Slack channel and virtual “coffee chats,” – to virtual new hire orientations, the focus has been on creating a sense of unity and engagement. Xactly also increased investment in professional development for employees at all levels and launched a 9-month leadership accelerator. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the company continues to prioritize its employees and building an even stronger, more flexible culture and community.

Xactly has won over 20 workplace awards in its 16-year history. In addition to the seven Bay Area News Group Top Workplaces awards, Xactly has been recognized as a Top Workplace by The Denver Post, by Fortune Magazine as a Great Place to Work, and is one of the 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials.

The ranking considered more than 44,000 employee surveys from Bay Area companies and evaluated more than 60 workplace elements including the extent to which employees trust leaders, the respect with which people are treated, the fairness of workplace decisions and how much camaraderie there is among the team.

About the Best Workplaces in the Bay Area™
Great Place to Work based its ranking on a data-driven methodology applied to confidential Trust Index™ survey responses from more than 44,000 Bay Area employees at Great Place to Work-Certified^™ organizations.

Employees responded to over 60 survey questions describing the extent to which their organization creates a Great Place to Work For All™. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on what employees say about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organization, no matter who they are or what they do. Great Place to Work analyzes these experiences relative to each organization’s size, workforce make up, and what’s typical in their industry and in the Bay Area.

The remaining 15 percent of the rank is based on an assessment of all employees’ daily experiences of innovation, the company’s values, and the effectiveness of their leaders, to ensure they’re consistently experienced.

To be considered, companies had to meet the Great Place to Work-Certified standard. To ensure companies had a sufficient Bay Area presence, a minimum of 10 people from the Bay Area needed to respond to the survey and at least 5% of the survey respondents at large companies and at least 20% in small and medium companies needed to be from the Bay Area. Companies with 10 to 999 people were considered for the small and medium category; companies with 1,000 employees or more were considered for the large category.

Xactly Translates Core Values into Global Action During Third-Annual C.A.R.E. Week

Enterprise tech leader announces success of company-wide volunteering and fundraising initiative, supporting organizations including Doctors Without Borders and Black Girls Code

SAN JOSE, Calif., August 19, 2020 – Xactly, the leading innovator of cloud-based Sales Performance Management (SPM) software, today announced the success of its third-annual C.A.R.E. Week, which the company hosted as part of it's XactlyOne philanthropic foundation efforts. Held last week, C.A.R.E. Week is an international, company-wide initiative designed to amplify Xactly’s Core Values of Customer Focus, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence, and put them into action on a global scale by giving back to the communities that surround the organization.

This year, the XactlyOne foundation collected donations for two influential organizations that are making strides to solve some of the biggest challenges of our time: Doctors Without Borders, which provides life-saving medical care around the world, and Black Girls Code, which provides young and pre-teen girls of color opportunities to learn in-demand skills in technology and computer programming. In addition, Xactly hosted a virtual non-profit fair that highlighted 16 global non-profits. These organizations educated employees on the various ways they could use their time and resources to give back to worthy causes and communities in need.

The week culminated in a Global Day of Giving on Friday, August 14th, when employees were encouraged to partake in virtual or in-person volunteer projects where it was safe to do so. In Denver, employees visited A Precious Child to pack backpacks for underserved children ages K-12. They were able to pack, sort and organize over 2000 backpacks. Our India-based Xactlians donated time to an animal shelter in a village near Bangalore. In Ontario, local employees got to work by participating in a shoreline clean-up. And, for the first time, all U.S. based employees also had the option to purchase a KyndKit: a volunteer project that ships to their home, providing supplies they can use to perform an act of kindness and improve mental wellness for individuals in need.

Outside of C.A.R.E. Week, Xactly employees frequently bring the organization’s core values to life. Earlier this summer, As a part of the Xactly EMEA team, Solutions Consultant Matt Hobson participated in Football Beyond Borders, which encourages disadvantaged youth athletes to stay engaged in school as they transition into adulthood. In the event, Hobson and two teammates ran 260 miles within the 24-hour requirement, raising over $7,000.

“While Xactly’s C.A.R.E. culture has been at work since 2005, C.A.R.E Week was an initiative created in 2018 and has taken on special importance in 2020 in light of world events,” said Chris Cabrera, Founder and CEO of Xactly. “The urgency to come together as a company — and as a world — to care for our communities is greater than ever, despite the unique challenges that have impacted the way we bring this vision to life. Xactly is proud of its longstanding commitment to service and philanthropy, and we are dedicated to finding new opportunities to put our core values into practice not only during C.A.R.E. Week but every day of each week.”

The XactlyOne Foundation, a 501(c)(3) certified organization, was created early in the company’s history and is at the heart of Xactly’s thriving culture. To date, Xactly has given over $160,000 and over 4,000 volunteer hours to organizations in need.
