Deadline extended to nominate your organization for the 2025 Top Workplaces awards

The nomination period for the 2025 New Jersey Top Workplaces awards has been extended, offering more time for organizations to participate. Any New Jersey-based organization with 50 or more employees — whether public, private, nonprofit, government, or school — is eligible to nominate their workplace at no cost. Companies now have until Dec. 6 to submit their entries.
To earn a Top Workplaces designation, participating employers agree to have their employees surveyed by Energage, the Pennsylvania-based research partner for the program. Through a quick 25-question survey, employees provide valuable insights on various aspects of their workplace, including organizational culture, growth opportunities, benefits, and compensation. This feedback helps identify the companies that truly excel as exceptional places to work.
Energage conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media in 65 markets nationwide and surveyed more than 2 million employees at more than 8,000 organizations in the past year.
In the 2024 Top Workplaces program, Energage invited more than 7,000 New Jersey organizations to participate, surveyed 138 organizations, invited 51,878 employees to participate, and received feedback from 25,379 respondents, ultimately recognizing 150 winners. Based on employee survey feedback, 98 employers earned recognition as Top Workplaces.
This year marks the seventh time New Jersey companies have taken part in the program, highlighting the state’s commitment to fostering outstanding workplace environments.
“Top Workplaces awards are a celebration of good news,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “They exemplify the significance of a people-first workplace experience, reminding us that employees are the heart of any thriving organization.”
The program also is an excellent way for companies and organizations to raise their public profile. Winners can use the Top Workplaces logo on company materials and websites, while also receiving public recognition through three of New Jersey’s largest media outlets — NJ.com, Jersey’s Best and The Star-Ledger.
