October 9, 2008 - Boston, MA – The Environmental Business Council of New England (EBC) recently announced that Capaccio Environmental Engineering, Inc. (CAPACCIO), a Marlborough-based environmental, health and safety consulting and engineering firm, received first place in their second annual “Best Places To Work” challenge.

The challenge, created by the EBC, invites environmental companies to participate by having employees anonymously complete on-line surveys about the company’s work environment and philosophies. Specific questions relating to benefits, compensation, mentoring, telecommuting, staffing, feeling valued, alignment of goals, co-worker trust, work engagement and the like are covered in the survey, with a certain level of employee participation required to remain eligible in the contest.

Winners were chosen based on the survey data and announced at the EBC’s Annual Meeting held on September 19. Each winner received recognition through various EBC publications and was given the EBC’s 2008 “Best Places to Work” stamp of approval logo to use on their website and in marketing materials.
