About the Chicago Tribune’s 2022 Top Workplaces List
This list is created by the Chicago Tribune in conjunction with Energage and is considered one of the nation’s most credible and reliable employer recognition programs due to the fact that winners are decided by quantitative employee feedback.
How the Chicago Tribune’s 2022 Top Workplaces Winners Are Decided
This award is based entirely on employee feedback captured within Energage’s researched-backed workplace survey.
The survey includes 24 base statements about culture imperatives, including:
- Alignment: Where the company is headed, it’s values, cooperation, and effectiveness
- Connection: Whether or not employees feel appreciated, believe their work is meaningful, that they’re working to their full potential, and that they work well together
- Coaching: Whether or not managers care about employee concerns, their degree of helpfulness, and how they encourage employee development
- Performance: Execution of projects, open mindedness, innovation, and hands-on leadership
It also seeks to measure:
- Employee Engagement: Productivity, retention, and recruiting
- Leadership: Confidence in company leaders
- The Basics: Pay, benefits, flexibility, training, and expectations
All responses are anonymous and survey results are compared against the Top Workplaces benchmark, developed from 16 years of data from 27 million employee surveys across 70,000 organizations.
