Is your company one of the best places to work? USA TODAY wants to hear from you.

USA TODAY will recognize quality workplace culture in Top Workplaces USA, a distinction honoring organizations that are leading in 2025 in putting their employees first.

Any organization with a staff of at least 150 people is eligible for the award. Employees decide by evaluating their workplaces with a 25-question survey, which will be conducted through the end of September.

A designation as a top place to work can make a business or group a magnet for top talent, boosting its performance and success.   

“Workplace culture is key to building and maintaining an exceptional organization where the business, its workforce, and all those who support its mission thrive,” said Caren Bohan, USA TODAY interim editor in chief. “USA TODAY is proud to recognize and celebrate the companies who successfully create work environments where people can prosper and grow.”

Energage, a Pennsylvania-based research company partnering with USA TODAY, conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media in 65 markets across the U.S. and polled more than 2 million employees at more than 8,000 organizations in the past year.

In 2024, USA TODAY honored more than 1,500 employers nationwide. The winners were invited to a celebration in New York City.

For 2025, a celebration of Top Workplaces USA winners is planned in Las Vegas at Resorts World.

To compete for the 2025 honor, here's what you need to know:

How do I qualify? Anyone can nominate any employer, whether it's public, private, nonprofit, a school or a government agency. You just need to have 150 or more employees in the United States. To make a nomination, go to topworkplaces.com/usatoday.

What's the deadline? The nomination deadline is Sept. 27.

Is there a participation fee? No. Participation is free, and if your organization wins, it will get the coveted Top Workplaces USA badge.

When will the winners be announced? The winning organizations will be published in March 2025.

Why should we participate? Top Workplaces USA spotlights businesses committed to listening to and centering their workforces. An evolving labor landscape where some are still able to work from home at least part of the time means employees have lots of choices. A top ranking can make an organization much more appealing.  

Do customers care? Just as people want to work for companies that are considered positive, productive spaces, customers and shareholders also want to connect with businesses that reflect their values.  

Who won in 2024?  Top honors in 2024 went to a Wisconsin-based mortgage lending company; a Michigan-based certified public accountants and consultants firm; a travel nursing staffing firm and a mortgage lending firm in California; and a Utah-based credit union. Energage ranked the top 100 employers in each of the four categories and then listed the remaining winners in alphabetical order. You can find the full list here.
