MADISON, Wis. – Today Agrace announced it has earned the 2023 Top Workplaces USA award, issued by Energage. Agrace was named #79 of the top 100 companies in the country among those with an employee base of 500 to 999 workers. The Madison-based health care nonprofit employs more than 850 people who work to fulfill its mission of providing hospice care, supportive care, non-medical senior care, adult day services and grief support.
Winners of the Top Workplaces USA list are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey issued by Energage. In the past 16 years, the Top Workplaces program has surveyed more than 20 million employees and recognized the top organizations across 60 markets for regional Top Workplaces awards. Energage results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including 15 Culture Drivers that are proven to predict high performance, against industry benchmarks.
“Over the past decade, we have dedicated ourselves to asking for and respecting the ideas, concerns and preferences of our staff,” said Lynne Sexten, Agrace president and CEO. “The result, over time, has been a very positive culture and a staff who are remarkably kind, accepting and resourceful. The work we do can be so challenging, but people enjoy it here because they feel welcome, heard and supported.”
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
Agrace serves people across southern Wisconsin who are aging, seriously ill, dying or grieving. Most of the agency’s services are provided in people’s homes.
