Now in its 17th year, the Top Workplaces program surveys and celebrates people-first organizations nationally and across 60 regional markets. Top Workplace designations are garnered solely through anonymous employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling “respected & supported,” “enabled to grow” and “empowered to execute,” among others. Additionally, it measures 15 culture drivers that are indicative of successful organizations, such as alignment, execution and connection.

Earlier this year, Castle earned a national Top Workplaces award (also for the third consecutive year) and also received five Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards (multiple years running) for continued excellence in the following areas of its company culture:

• Innovation (2022, 2023, 2024), for creating a culture where new ideas are encouraged, which helps employees reach their full potential and benefits performance.
• Work-Life Flexibility (2023, 2024), for building a culture that enables employees to meet the demands of their personal lives while maintaining high performance.
• Compensation & Benefits (2022, 2023, 2024), for providing packages employees believe are fair for the work being done and compared to others in the industry.
• Leadership (2022, 2023, 2024), for organizational leaders who inspire confidence in employees and the company direction, listening to what matters most to employees and using that insight in decision making.
• Purpose & Values (2022, 2023, 2024), for successfully communicating the company mission and integrating those aspirations into the culture.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage chief executive officer. “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.”
