Chamber & EDC members shine at 2017 Colorado Springs Best Workplaces Awards

On November 29, in partnership with the Chamber & EDC, The Gazette presented the winners of the 2017 Best Workplaces Awards, the inaugural year of this recognition program. Workplaces were evaluated by their own employees who responded to an independent survey, which asked them questions about organizational health, engagement and leadership, and other factors.

At the event, 68 employers were celebrated for creating strong, healthy workplace cultures. The first, second, and third best companies were recognized in each category: small, midsized, large, and extra-large companies. Of the recognized companies, 66 percent are members of the Chamber & EDC. Additionally, eight of the 12 finalists and three of the first-place winners are members.

Congratulations to these top workplaces! Chamber & EDC members are noted with an asterisk.
