Best Places to Work is a True North program put on with Guide to Greater Gainesville and supported by Quantum Workplace to honor remarkable organizations in our region. So it’s no surprise that entrepreneurial organizations are redefining what it means to be a great workplace. Not that long ago, the term “best workplace” might have called to mind an open-office design with a stocked fridge and min
dfulness pods. But now that work is remote for many firms, “best workplaces” means having the best company culture, whether a team operates in a physical or a virtual facility. True North’s Best Places to Work, awards the company cultures that thrive in the face of adversity. Cultures that, in response to a pandemic, redefine the workplace and continue to enrich it. Cultures that foster employee growth and advancement at all levels. Cultures that make their company truly worthy of being named one of the Best Places to Work. The Best Places to Work survey measures key areas that make up an organization’s culture. These range from compensation and benefits to trust in senior leadership. The survey also measures the level of engagement exhibited by employees, known as employee engagement.
