Nomination deadline extended for Charlotte Top Workplaces
There’s still time to earn recognition as a Top Workplace in metro Charlotte.
The Charlotte Observer will honor outstanding workplace culture. For the 12th year, employee survey company Energage will survey employees in the region. Any organization with 35 or more employees in the region is eligible to compete for a Top Workplaces award. Standout companies will be published in fall 2026.
The nomination deadline has been extended to May 22. Public, private, non-profit, a school, or even a government agency. To nominate an employer or for more information on the awards, just go to charlotteobserver.com/nominate or call (704) 954-8760.
There is no cost to participate. To qualify as a Charlotte Top Workplace, employees evaluate their workplace using a short 26-question survey that takes just a few minutes to complete. Companies will be surveyed through June.
Energage, the Pennsylvania-based research partner for the project, conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media in 70 markets nationwide and surveyed more than 2 million employees at more than 8,000 organizations in the past year.
For the 2025 awards, 95 employers in metro Charlotte earned recognition as Top Workplaces.
