Tampa, Fla. (April 21, 2021) — DataLink is thrilled to have earned two distinctions for being an exceptional place to work — a testament to our efforts to earn employee trust and create a great workplace environment.

For the second consecutive year, we have been named a Great Place to Work-Certified™ company for December 2020-December 2021, with 87% of employees finding DataLink a great place to work. This number far exceeds a typical U.S.-based company where just 59% of employees report this level of satisfaction with their work experience.

We’ve also ranked among Tampa Bay Times’ Top Midsize Workplaces in Tampa, at number 28 in the midsize business category. Top companies made the list for quickly adjusting to pandemic pressures and prioritizing the needs of employees. Staff who responded to an annual survey cited an environment of respect, fulfillment in work and much-needed flexibility during challenging times.
