The 2026 Utah Top Workplaces have been determined. Up next: the celebration.
This year's winners will gather at a luncheon Oct. 22 at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. The winners list will be published Nov. 2.
For the first time, the Salt Lake Business Journal and City Journals have partnered with survey company Energage to honor the best places to work in Utah. Energage has surveyed workers in Utah for 13 years to determine the best places to work.
The award is verified and earned through an employee survey process. Workplaces where employees offer positive feedback about their experience make the winners list. The survey is strictly confidential, allowing employees to share honest feedback anonymously.
Energage, based in suburban Philadelphia, administers the survey and analyzes feedback based on responses to 26 questions. The survey asks employees about such factors as pay and benefits, direction, leadership, meaningfulness and appreciation. Energage scores companies based on the responses. Energage has established benchmarks based on feedback from about 30 million employees over 20 years.
For the 2026 winners list, 4,714 organizations were asked to survey their employees, and 162 agreed to do so. Based on the survey feedback, 130 have earned recognition as Top Workplaces in Utah.
