HOW THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED
Employers have been forced to focus harder
than ever to retain and attract talent amid the
disruption of the business environment during
the coronavirus pandemic. Top Workplaces
celebrates the employers that are getting it right.
The heart of the Top Workplaces program is
an employee survey. The 24-question survey
collects feedback from those who know organizations the best: the people who work there.
Employee feedback is the sole basis for determining which employers make the Top Workplaces list.
This is the 12th year that employee survey
company Energage has partnered with The
Baltimore Sun to identify outstanding workplaces in the Baltimore metro area.
“The employee experience needs to be on
the mission-critical list,” Energage CEO Eric
Rubino said. “By giving employees a voice and

showcasing an authentic culture, organizations
can attract those job-seekers who complement
their culture. Culture drives performance.”
For 2022, 150 employers made the winners
list. Energage invited 2,861 organizations to
participate, and they were eligible provided they
had 35 or more employees in the region. Most
of the surveying was done between June and
August. Surveys went out to 36,336 employees in
the region, and 18,709 responded.
To compare feedback of similar-size groups,
employers were divided based on the number
of employees in the region. Organizations that
exceeded benchmark scores for each size group
made the winners list. Within those groupings, organizations are ranked by the aggregate
score based on the employee feedback; the more
positive the employee responses, the higher the
score, the higher the rank.
Energage also determines special award
winners for some employers who have standout scores in certain areas of the survey, such as
leadership, values, direction, communication,
meaningfulness and benefits.
Why isn’t a particular company on the list?
Perhaps it did not participate, had too few
employees to qualify or did not score highly
enough in the survey process. Each year, Energage also disqualifies a small number of participants based on irregularities in the employee
survey responses, including if employees say
they were pressured into answering positively.
