Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data. All employers were ranked using a composite score of survey results.

The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work including recognition and performance management. With a strong focus on synergy and collaboration, Let’s Pave was among the highest ranked employers out of the nearly 2000 surveyed.

He continued, “Our team regards each other as family and achieving this honor is a testament to our close-knit culture. I feel so fortunate to work alongside people that genuinely appreciate each other and enjoy our life’s work.”

While researching the finalists, Inc. and Quantum saw distinct themes among winning workplaces including providing health insurance, offsite retreats to relax and recharge, and rewards for length of service.

“With today’s tight labor market, building a great corporate culture is more important than ever,” says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief James Ledbetter. “The companies on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from.”

The program transforms every completed client service call into one minute of volunteer time.
