The winners are determined by authentic employee feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance.

“Earning a spot on the USA TODAY Top Workplaces list is more than just an award — it’s a clear signal to job seekers, customers, and stakeholders that an organization values its people and creates an environment where employees can thrive,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “This recognition is grounded in authentic employee feedback, making it a true reflection of an organization’s commitment to a positive workplace culture.”

USA TODAY’s national platform amplifies the visibility of the Top Workplaces award, showcasing the winning organizations as employers of choice. This partnership highlights the critical role of employee engagement in driving business success and inspires other companies to follow suit.

"Collaborating with Energage to celebrate the Top Workplaces award winners reflects our commitment to prioritizing a positive employee environment," said Samantha Howland, Chief People Officer of Gannett. "We extend our heartfelt congratulations to this year's exceptional national award recipients."
