EGR announced the shortlisted nominees for their 2022 North America Awards, and Boom is honored to be recognized in two categories; Employer of the Year and Freeplay Gaming Supplier.
Boom Entertainment has previously won an EGR award for best Fantasy Sports Operator, and these two new categories reflect the growth of the business.
The Freeplay Gaming Supplier award recognizes Boom’s market-leading suite of games including NBC Sports Predictor, Tim Horton’s NHL Hockey Challenge, and PlayBarstool, amongst many others.
And the business is thrilled to be shortlisted for the inaugural Employer of the Year award.
Boom is determined to attract and retain the best talent, as well as to create a supportive and professional workplace. Over the past few years, we have implemented a range of initiatives.
These include but are not limited to:
“We have grown from 20 employees to over 85 employees in the last 15 months by being intentional about our values and the remote culture we are building,” said Casey Gaynor, Director of Human Resources and Talent Acquisition.
“We’ve been able to attract some of the best talent in the gaming and technology space across the country because of Boom’s past excellence, our future ambitions, and the vision of our leaders. Aside from what we are building, I am proud of the character of the individuals we hire. At Boom, we routinely participate in fundraising events like our Ukraine fundraiser and host internal competitions like best and worst March Madness Brackets. We have mutual trust and respect for each other. Our positive employee retention and employee engagement statistics reflect this camaraderie."
The 2022 EGR North America Awards are presented on April 26th, and if you’re interested in joining Boom, please check out our Careers opportunities.
