Preferred Mutual Insurance Company is proud to announce that, for the third year in a row, the company has earned the 2026 USA Today Top Workplaces award issued by Energage.
The award honors organizations with 150 or more employees that have created exceptional, people-first cultures. This year, more than 42,000 organizations were invited to participate. The winners are recognized for their commitment to fostering a workplace environment that values employee listening and engagement. USA TODAY showcased the winners online and at the National Awards Summit in Las Vegas.
“Receiving a USA Today Top Workplaces award for the third consecutive year reflects the culture our employees continue to build together,” said R. Benedikt Sander, President & CEO of Preferred Mutual Insurance Company. “This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from employee feedback. We remain committed to maintaining a people-first workplace where our team members feel supported, engaged, and empowered to do their best work.”
The winners are determined by authentic employee feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance.
"Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture," said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage.
