The lists are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey, issued by Energage. Results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
“A culture where BZI creates high-value opportunities and allows team members to thrive is a strong foundational pillar that supports our company and contributes to our overall success. This approach is represented in everything that we do and illustrates our mission and the values we aspire to at BZI,” said Thomas Harker, President of BZI. “We are thrilled to receive this Top Workplaces recognition and will remain steadfast in our efforts to facilitate an exceptional culture as our company continues to grow and expand.”
Douglas was invited by Energage to share his perspectives on BZI’s approach to team and leadership building methods with attendees at the upcoming USA TODAY Top Workplaces annual conference. He will join a breakout session, “Shop Talk with Top Workplaces: From Insights to Impact.” The presenters will bring real-life examples for using Top Workplaces insights to strengthen culture, engage employees and enhance employer branding.
“BZI continues to shine as an organization that creates a team member-first culture where employees can thrive and grow,” said Bob Helbig, media partnerships director at Energage. “This award is earned through employee feedback, and the message from employees is loud and clear: BZI is a leader in the industry for successfully encouraging people to reach impressive accomplishments and also feel personally fulfilled. This is one of the many reasons we asked Spencer to share BZI insights into culture and the best ways to leverage the Energage surveys.”
“These awards are only made possible through our team members’ hard work and dedication, and BZI is honored to be listed alongside other companies who are leading their industries and care about providing outstanding cultures,” added Harker.
