FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global educational services provider Kaplan has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2024 honor by the South Florida's Top Workplaces program, for the fourth consecutive year.

The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including how much employees feel respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute, to name a few.

“At Kaplan, we are proud of our 85-plus year commitment to help our students and university and business partners reach their goals, and this latest recognition by The Sun Sentinel as one of South Florida’s Top Workplaces is a strong validation of our efforts and record of achievement,” said Gregory Marino, CEO, Kaplan North America. “These survey results, which merited this distinction, confirm just how highly engaged and dedicated our team is every single day.
