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.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
