The numbers are in for this year’s Richmond Times-Dispatch Top Workplaces, which each year spotlights the region’s best employers.
A total of 1,774 companies, nonprofit organizations and government divisions were asked to participate and 130 were surveyed, a record high in the 11-year history of the program.
As in previous years, The Times-Dispatch worked with Energage, an Exton, Pennsylvania-based employee research firm that surveyed workers on numerous issues, from workplace life and work-life balance to training opportunities and benefits.
Energage then identified 98 winners grouped by employment size.
Nine employers have been honored every year since the contest started: Auditor of Public Accounts, Capital One Financial Corp., CarMax, Gumenick Properties, Independent Container Line Ltd., Napier ERA, T-Mobile, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and Williams Mullen.
