The nomination process for the 2025 New Jersey Top Workplaces Awards is now open, offering organizations the opportunity to earn this highly sought-after recognition. Any New Jersey-based organization with 50 or more employees – public, private, nonprofit, government or school – is eligible to participate. Businesses have until October 25 to submit their entries, and there is no fee to nominate your workplace. Don’t miss this opportunity to highlight what sets your organization apart.

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 25-question survey that takes approximately five minutes to complete, employees provide valuable insights into various aspects of their workplace, including organizational culture, opportunities for professional growth, benefits and compensation. This feedback helps determine which companies truly stand out as exceptional places to work.

Energage conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media outlets 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 feedback from an employee survey, 98 employers have been recognized as Top Workplaces.

This year marks the seventh time New Jersey companies have participated in the program, highlighting the state’s commitment to promoting excellent work environments.

“Top Workplaces Awards are a celebration of good news,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “They illustrate the importance of a people-centric workplace experience and remind us that employees are the heart of any thriving organization.”

The program is also an excellent way for companies and organizations to draw attention to themselves. 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.
