Energage Announces Recipients of October 2021 Top Workplaces National Culture Excellence Awards

Energage, a technology company that empowers workplace excellence and the organization behind the Top Workplaces awards, revealed the winners of its October 2021 Culture Excellence Awards, which recognize companies based on employee feedback. Companies from across the nation were applauded for creating a desirable work culture in four areas: DE&I practices, employee well-being, professional development, and remote work environments.

“Our Culture Excellence awards showcase companies that are listening to employee feedback and are working hard to create organizations that employees don’t want to leave.”

The October 2021 Top Workplaces national Culture Excellence awards 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.

“Companies continued to have difficulty retaining employees, as illustrated by record separations reported by the Labor Department in the latest period,” said Dan Kessler, president and chief operating officer of Energage. “Our Culture Excellence awards showcase companies that are listening to employee feedback and are working hard to create organizations that employees don’t want to leave.”

Over the past year, nearly 42,000 organizations have competed for Top Workplaces national awards, including Top Workplaces USA, Industry, and Culture Excellence awards. Fewer than 3 percent of eligible organizations earn a Top Workplaces designation, making these achievements clear differentiators among peers.
