WALNUT CREEK, CA — Sequoia is proud to celebrate Certification Nation Day on June 22, along with the community of Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies across the country. Great Place to Work® has designated June 22 as Certification Nation Day to salute and recognize the companies working to create great places to work for all.
"This certification validates the work we’ve done to put our employee’s first. It has always been our mission and vision for the company, but even more so over this past year. While others cut corners on the employee experience, we dug in and enhanced it. Treating people well and providing a safe, inviting, and engaging workplace where team members are supported in their growth is what really matters” says Nora Miller, Assistant Vice President of Human Resources.
Great Place to Work Certification™ is recognized worldwide by employees and employers alike and is the global benchmark for identifying outstanding employee experiences.

I hope that Certification Nation Day can inspire other executives to create and sustain employee-first cultures."
It’s important to honor all of the work that goes into creating a Certified company.
"Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place to Work. “It takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience.”
