Columbus CEO’s Top Workplaces 2023 Recognizes Exceptional Employers
For the 11th year, the magazine partnered with Energage to find out what employees think about their organizations and honor the ones that excel.
Great workplaces aren’t created by accident. They are built and nurtured. The Top Workplaces awards recognize the employers that do it well in the eyes of their employees.
The heart of the Top Workplaces award is the employee survey process. Energage administers a 24-question survey to employees, who are the sole deciders of whether a company culture merits recognition.
This is the 11th year that Columbus CEO has partnered with Energage, an employee survey company based in Exton, Pennsylvania, to celebrate exceptional workplaces in Central Ohio
There is no cost to participate in Top Workplaces and no obligation to purchase any product or service. For 2023, 1,954 organizations were invited to survey their employees. Based on employee survey feedback, 92 have earned recognition as Top Workplaces.
In the current job market, it’s more paramount than ever for companies to be intentional about a culture that prioritizes employee appreciation and recognition, says Energage CEO Eric Rubino. “We really need workplaces that inspire employees,” he says. “You have to really acknowledge employees genuinely and consistently.”
The award is open to any employer with 50 or more employees in greater Columbus. Energage tabulates the survey results. Employers are grouped into small, midsize and large categories to best compare similar employee experiences. Employers earn Top Workplaces recognition if their aggregated employee feedback score exceeds national benchmarks. Energage has established those benchmarks based on feedback from more than 27 million employees over 17 years. Participants are ranked within those groups based on the strength of the survey feedback.
