The Top Workplaces program has a 15-year history of surveying more than 20 million employees and recognizing the top organizations across 60 markets for regional Top Workplaces awards.

This recognition serves as an important Illustration of their ownership mindset. Our employees live and breathe our company values and see the company as theirs, as the word Nuestro (Our in Spanish) which is part of our company name implies it,” said Mark Braun, CEO of Hispanic Cheese Makers-Nuestro Queso, LLC.

Top Workplaces USA Today celebrates organizations with 150 or more employees who have built great cultures. Over 42,000 organizations were invited to participate in the Top Workplaces USA Today survey. Winners of the Top Workplaces USA Today 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.”
