For the second year in a row, Bookminders has been designated a Top Workplace by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The organization ranked 2nd out of 61 businesses in the small company category. Bookminders was further honored with a special award recognizing effective and efficient processes, standing out among all 100 companies across all divisions.

Recognition for these awards is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to organizational success including alignment, execution, and engagement.

Once again, Bookminders’ performance resulted in the award of every culture badge available through this assessment. The company further ranked in the Top 5% for all Accounting/Bookkeeping companies, indicating employees have the highest regard for the company’s leaders, direction, work-life balance, and management support.
