Energage Announces Recipients of Top Workplaces National Culture Excellence Awards

Employees of organizations rank them highest in appreciation, direction, employee empowerment, values, and woman leadership.

Energage – a purpose-driven technology company that empowers workplace excellence – this week in an online reveal announced the recipients of its latest series of Top Workplaces National Culture Excellence awards. These quarterly employer recognition awards are an expansion of the prestigious annual Top Workplaces awards—both regional and national. This unique approach recognizes deserving organizations throughout the year to highlight people-first efforts in key workplace culture categories to further support continuous recruitment and retention strategies. The April 2021 Top Workplaces National Culture Excellence awards celebrate organizations that go above and beyond when it comes to employee appreciation, direction, employee empowerment, values, and woman leadership.

Like all Top Workplaces awards, results are based solely on employee feedback from Energage’s anonymous, science-based, employee engagement survey. Organizations are evaluated against the industry’s most robust benchmark, based on Energage’s 15 years of research and data from 70,000 organizations and 23 million employee surveys.

“We introduced the National Culture Excellence awards in January because we saw the need for organizations to earn objective validation of their culture-forward efforts and to reinforce that their commitment to their people goes beyond just words on a careers page,” said Dan Kessler, president and chief operating officer of Energage. “As the workplace continues to evolve, our people scientists are on the leading edge of identifying aspects of workplace culture that drive excellence. The awards this quarter are on point with what matters most to employees; and when businesses listen to the feedback and strive to improve, they see results. Congratulations to all the winners. It’s hard-earned and well-deserved.”
