The 2021 Top Workplaces program, sponsored by The Times-Picayune, is based on an anonymous survey of employees who nominated their employers for Top Workplaces awards.
The contest was conducted in partnership with employee engagement firm Energage of Philadelphia. The annual competition, which is in its seventh year, seeks to highlight standout job providers in the region and identify ways organizations can become places where people want to work. It also increases workplace pride and morale among workers.
Bob Helbig, Energage’s media partnerships director, acknowledged that the pandemic has provided extraordinary challenges for employers, particularly those in the New Orleans region who also encountered Hurricane Ida this year.
“You don’t get on this list by accident,” he said. “You don’t get on this list by buying your way on. The only way you get on this list is if your employees deem you worthy.”
Helbig said Energage surveyed more than 36,000 employees in the region, and learned what’s most important to them is connection. “Connection with your remote workers; connection with your brave colleagues on the front lines; connection with your teammates as you navigate returning to the office,” he said. “Real connection is a two-way street. Real connection requires more than top-down, companywide communication.”
