THE BLADE’S TOP WORKPLACES 2020: Special Section

The companies were given their awards during a banquet Thursday at The Premier.

For the seventh year, The Blade has partnered with Philadelphia-based Energage to rank the Toledo area’s Top Workplaces based on a scientific survey of employees. For 2020, a record 73 employers agreed to take the survey. Combined, they employ 23,290 people in metro Toledo. Of those employees who received questionnaires, 8,332 responded, either on paper or online. Toledo-area employers were then ranked based on their employee survey feedback.

Energage also determines special award winners based on survey scores on specific topics such as leadership, values, communication, and benefits.

Want your organization to participate in the 2021 program? Just go to toledoblade.com/nominate to submit a nomination, which is open to any public, private, nonprofit, or government organization with at least 35 employees. There is no cost to enter.
