Top Workplaces USA celebrates organizations with 150+ employees that have built great cultures. More than 42,000 organizations were invited to participate in the survey. Winners were chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered independently through a survey issued by Energage.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
