“We are honored to be recognized as a USA Today Top Workplace. This accolade is a testament to our dedicated team’s commitment to creating a supportive and dynamic work environment. Together, we’re not just building a better workplace; we’re cultivating a stronger community. Our thanks go to every employee who contributes daily to this achievement,” stated City Manager Lorie Gillis.
Top Workplaces USA celebrates organizations with 150 or more employees that have built great cultures. Over 42,000 organizations were invited to participate in the Top Workplaces USA survey. Winners of the Top Workplaces USA list are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey, issued by Energage.
Results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including 15 Culture Drivers that are proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks.
“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.”
