Shepherd Insurance Earns 2026 Top Workplaces Award
We are excited to announce that Shepherd Insurance has earned the 2026 Top Workplaces USA award, issued by Energage, a purpose-driven organization that develops solutions to build and brand Top Workplaces. The Top Workplaces program has a 20-year history of surveying more than 30 million employees and recognizing the top organizations across 60 markets for regional Top Workplaces awards.
Top Workplaces USA celebrates organizations with 150 or more employees that have built great cultures. This year, over 40,500 organizations were invited to participate in the Top Workplaces USA survey. Winners of the Top Workplaces USA list are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey, issued by Energage. USA TODAY showcased the winners online and at the National Awards Summit in Nashville.
“Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition — it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.”
Results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including 15 Culture Drivers proven to predict high performance, against industry benchmarks. Shepherd Insurance ranked in the top 25% among other Insurance and Financial Services companies for trusted leaders, strong values, leadership in the know, employee appreciation, cross-team cooperation, company direction, and work-life balance.
