For the second year in a row, Norwell real estate company Jack Conway & Co. Inc. has been named one of The Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work.

It’s the fifth year the newspaper honored the state’s most beloved workplaces based on surveys of the people who know best — the employees themselves.

"It’s such an honor to be chosen, because it’s our team who chose us," Conway CEO Carol Conway Bulman said in a statement. "Our agents, managers and staff make us who we are, and it’s gratifying to know they feel good about our company."

The Boston Globe’s 2012 Top Places to Work survey was conducted by WorkPlace Dynamics, specialists in employee engagement and retention. The Globe invited 1,586 employers to participate in the survey; 304 organizations employing a total of 210,000 people completed the process. Completed surveys were received from 81,907 individuals, who rated their employers based on workplace practices in compensation, leadership, appreciation, career opportunities and management.

"When we launched in 2008 during the Great Recession, we wondered if employers would lose focus on keeping their employees happy," Boston Globe Business Editor Shirley Leung said. "But businesses have continued to make strides in employee appreciation and opportunities. With more than 300 companies surveyed this year, we saw our highest participation rate to date."

Conway was listed among companies like Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Co., Analysis Group, The Boston Harbor Hotel and Globoforce.

Established in 1956, Jack Conway & Co., Realtor, is family-owned and operated, and one of the largest independent brokerages based locally in Massachusetts.
