Energage Partners with The Florida Times-Union and Herald-Tribune to Expand Top Workplaces Employer Recognition

Organizations with 35 or more employees in the Jacksonville and Sarasota areas are eligible to participate in the nation’s leading employer recognition program

Energage, a technology company that empowers workplace excellence and the organization behind the Top Workplaces awards, is partnering with The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville and the Herald-Tribune in Sarasota expanding the Top Workplaces employer recognition program to five regions in Florida.

Both news organizations are owned by Gannett Co., Inc. The new awards bring to 17 the number of Top Workplaces partnerships between Gannett and Energage nationwide.

Jacksonville and Sarasota join the Central Florida, Tampa Bay, and South Florida regions participating in Florida’s Top Workplaces awards, which recognize employers for their commitment to workplace excellence, and are key to helping companies recruit employees and strengthen brands. These new partnerships bring the number of regional Top Workplaces programs around the country to 61.

Employers in Jacksonville and Sarasota with 35 or more employees are eligible to nominate their companies to be considered for the regions’ Top Workplaces award.

Organizations participating in Top Workplaces are evaluated based on feedback from a confidential, 24-statement employee engagement survey. Developed by Energage people scientists, the survey leverages the industry’s most robust benchmarks based on 15 years of research and data from 70,000 organizations and 23 million employees.

“Energage has surveyed Florida companies for the Top Workplaces award for more than a decade, and we are excited to expand the program to the Jacksonville and Sarasota regions,” said Dan Kessler, president of Energage.

Nominees are also eligible for regional and national awards for the 12 months following the completion of their survey. Participants have the opportunity to receive data-based insights from their employees’ feedback that allows them to differentiate and stand out as a top place to work and do business.
