Evaluation Process

To maintain the authenticity and credibility of these awards, a detailed evaluation process is followed. Employees evaluate their workplaces using a straightforward, 24-question survey. This survey, which only takes about 5 minutes to complete, will run through July. In 2023, a whopping 116 companies were recognized as Top Workplaces following this process, with surveys going out to over 50,000 employees in the region.

Research Partner: Energage

Having surveyed over 2 million employees from more than 8,000 organizations in the past year, their proficiency aids in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the results.

Significance of These Awards

Energage CEO Eric Rubino emphasizes the importance of recognizing great workplaces. He says, “Top Workplaces awards are a celebration of good news. They exemplify the significance of a people-first workplace experience, reminding us that employees are the heart of any thriving organization.”

The inclusion in the American-Statesman’s 2024 Austin Top Workplaces list offers organizations a chance to showcase their dedication towards their employees and work culture.
