Tennessean Top Workplaces Award (2023) More than 42,000 companies participated and only about 1000 were recognized as one of the Tennessean Top Places to work. The Tennessean welcomed anyone to nominate an organization and partnered with Energage, who also reached out to companies. Any employer was eligible, as long as it had at least 35 employees in Middle Tennessee. Employees could be public, private, nonprofit or governmental. Once employers were nominated, employees were asked to fill out an online questionnaire that gave more information about the companies they worked for. Information gathered included issues relating to workplace culture, including Alignment, Connection, Effectiveness, Engagement, Leadership, and the Basics, including pay, benefits, flexibility, training, and expectations. Employers were then ranked among groups of similar size to most accurately compare results, with those that scored high being recognized. This ranking is based upon the period from 01/01/2022 to 12/31/2022, and was published February 1,2023. The ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience, is not an endorsement, and is not indicative of an advisor’s future performance.
