There’s still time to earn recognition as a Top Workplace in the Rochester metro area.
This is the 14th year the Democrat & Chronicle will shine a spotlight on outstanding workplaces in the region, as viewed by workers. Any organization with 35 or more employees in the region is eligible to seek a Top Workplaces award. Companies will be honored in spring 2027.
The nomination deadline has been extended to Nov. 6.
Anyone can submit a nomination. Participating employers can be 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 democratandchronicle.com/nominate (please hot link website) or call (585) 502-1934.
There is no cost to participate. To qualify as a Rochester
Top Workplace, employees evaluate their workplace using a 26-question survey that takes just a few minutes to complete. Companies will be surveyed through early December.
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 2026 awards, 59 employers in the Rochester metro area earned recognition as Top Workplaces.
