Why the nation needs Top Workplaces now more than ever.
Being on the frontlines of headline news, we don’t need to tell you that the world of work has changed – and changed dramatically since March 2020. Top Workplaces is a chance to celebrate the good. To recognize companies that prioritize a people-centered culture and tell the story of leaders who give their employees a voice.
Companies experiencing record growth need to accelerate their hiring.
Companies that earn recognition as an organization of choice attract better job candidates and the right talent for their culture.
With more companies shifting to a remote workforce, geographic boundaries are fading.
The competition has become fierce as organizations scout for talent locally and also across the nation.
Third-party employer recognition reduces turnover rates.
Regardless of company size or the number of industry job openings, employees at Top Workplaces are engaged and want to stay put.
Employees are becoming more selective. Customers too.
Job candidates want to work for Top Workplaces. Customers and investors want to do business with these award-winning organizations too.
Organizations know that recognition builds employee pride and morale.
Being able to say, “I work for a Top Workplace!” gives employees a great sense of pride and a much-needed morale boost.
More opportunities to celebrate Top Workplaces, without a heavy added lift.
As you know, Top Workplaces is based solely on the employee feedback captured with the Energage employee engagement survey. That same single survey also powers the data needed for all of the brand awards, from regional and national recognition to industry and culture excellence recognition.
