Cassaday & Company, Inc. is honored to announce that our firm has been named one of The Washington Post’s 2024 Top Workplaces in the Washington, D.C. area.  

The Post’s survey, conducted in partnership with employee engagement firm Energage, LLC, identified the highest-ranking workplaces in the region based on employee responses about their own company. This year, 8,816 organizations were invited to survey their employees. To be considered for the award, over 35 percent of the company workforce needed to complete the annual survey. The ranked companies were separated into employee size categories - small, midsize, large, and largest. Cassaday was ranked in the small companies category.  

The Post commented, "It’s not a popularity contest, and not everyone gets a blue ribbon. A select few are honored based on a scientific survey process.” Now in its 11th year, this list continues to highlight the companies in the Washington area that are leaders in company satisfaction and engagement. This year, the list grew to include 250 companies in the greater Washington D.C. area – more than ever before.

Methodology Behind The Rankings 

The Post determined that there is no better judge of a company than the employees who work there. The publication works with Energage to rank the Washington area’s Top Workplaces. The process is based on a survey of employees who rate their workplace culture. According to Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage, “When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward based on real-time insights into what works best for your organization.” 

The employee engagement survey gathers responses regarding issues related to workplace culture including: 

• Alignment: where the company is headed, its values, cooperation, effective meetings 

• Coaching: managers care about concerns, are helpful, encourage employee development 

• Connection: employees feel appreciated, work is meaningful, working at full potential, clued in to each other 

• Engagement: productivity, retention, recruiting 

• Leadership: confidence in company leaders
