EXTON, PA — Energage announced a new partnership with WTOP News to spotlight the best employers across the greater Washington, D.C., region, launching a high-profile awards program aimed at recognizing organizations that put workplace culture front and center.
The Top Workplaces awards will honor companies that prioritize the employee experience and foster environments where workers feel valued, supported, and empowered to perform at their best. Winners are determined entirely by employee feedback gathered through the confidential, research-backed Energage Workplace Survey.
The survey measures key culture drivers proven to predict organizational success and employee engagement, drawing on insights from millions of employees across more than 70,000 organizations. Energage said the methodology has been refined over two decades of research, giving the awards credibility in a crowded talent marketplace.
“Top Workplaces helps organizations stand out in a highly competitive talent market by giving employees a voice and employers credible recognition,” said Eric Rubino, chief executive officer of Energage. He said the partnership with WTOP will broaden the program’s reach and help area employers strengthen their brands, increase visibility, and attract top talent.
The program is open to all organizations with 50 or more employees in the Washington, D.C., region, including public, private, nonprofit, and government employers. There is no cost to nominate, participate, or win.
Nominations are open now through January 30, 2026, with winners set to be announced in June 2026.
“WTOP is proud to carry forward the Top Workplaces program, recognizing and supporting exceptional local employers,” said Joel Oxley, president of WTOP and Hubbard Radio Washington D.C. “As the go-to place for news and information in Washington, D.C., this partnership felt like a natural fit.”
