“There is nothing more rewarding than being recognized as one of the best companies to work for, where ‘going to work’ means spending the day with a group of kind and talented individuals who share the feeling and are redefining the future of work,” added Lulit Tesfaye, Vice President of Knowledge and Data Services.

The award, given to EK based on an anonymous employee survey, highlights EK’s unique benefits, commitment to philanthropy, learning and development opportunities, and company culture. This is the fourth year in a row that EK has been named a Best Place to Work by Washington Business Journal. This year, EK was ranked at #14 in the medium business category.

“Thanks to Washington Business Journal for once again recognizing EK as a great place to work,” said EK CEO Zach Wahl. “Especially during these challenging times for the world, it is amazing to see the team rallying and coming together in support of their colleagues and clients.”

Joe Hilger, EK COO added, “Even during this time of remote work due to the pandemic, our team continues to grow and flourish. I couldn’t be prouder of this wonderful group of people.”

Hitting newsstands today in the June 2019 issue, and as part of a prominent inc.com feature, the award is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private American companies who have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits. Out of thousands of applicants nationwide, Inc. recognized just over 300 winning companies including Enterprise Knowledge.

Built in partnership with employee engagement and work culture experts, Quantum Workplace of Omaha, NE, Inc.’s Best Workplaces list is a magnifying glass on how innovative companies can truly raise the bar in hiring and retaining the best talent.

What does it take to become a company that workers want to be part of? Inc. magazine says it’s more than good pay and good perks – it’s also about having a clear purpose, a sense of humor, and leadership that makes them all work together.

“EK is powered by our culture of collaboration, energy, and positivity,” said EK CEO Zach Wahl. “The kindness and commitment of our team are amongst the key elements that make us special, and my focus is on ensuring the entire team is honored for their stewardship of this culture.”

Joe Hilger, EK COO added, “Great companies are made up of great people. We have tried to make EK a place where great people want to work. This award reinforces that we are doing what we need to continue to make EK the best place it can be.”

The 2019 Inc. Best Workplaces Award assessed applicants on the basis of benefits offered and employees’ responses to a unique, 30-question survey fielded by each of the applying companies. Responses were evaluated by the research team at Quantum Workplace. For an organization’s results to qualify, each organization had to achieve a statistically significant response rate based on employee count. Survey scores account for employer size to level the playing field between small and large businesses. All companies had to have a minimum of 10 employees and to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent – that is, not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies.

While researching the entries, Inc. and Quantum saw distinct themes develop:

• Strong company cultures breed stunning individual and team performance.
• Workers at the best companies don’t view their employers as sugar daddies. They aren’t mesmerized by whatever giveaways seem to be the latest fad—be it gourmet lunches or beer fridges.
• When employees feel valued by their organization, they are far more likely to be engaged. This single factor proved to be one of the largest drivers of employee engagement.

“By including an employee survey into this year’s Best Workplaces selection process, we’ve really raised the bar. Companies that don’t score at the very top of their peer group don’t make the cut. So, our hats are off to the winners. They all excelled at engaging their workers, making them feel appreciated, and aligning them behind a mission. And remember, that’s not just our opinion: The employees told us that themselves.” says James Ledbetter, Inc. editor-in-chief.

This recognition for EK follows similar awards, including Washington Business Journal Best Places to Work, Arlington Chamber of Commerce 2018 Best Business, and Washingtonian Magazine Great Place to Work.
