Great workplaces don’t happen by accident. They are nurtured and built to bring out the best in people. If you know of one, nominate it as a Top Workplace in South Florida.

For the 12th year, the Sun Sentinel will honor outstanding workplace culture in the region. Any organization with 35 or more employees in the region is eligible to compete for a Top Workplaces award. Standout companies will be honored in May 2026.

Anyone can nominate an outstanding company. The nomination deadline is Oct. 24. Nominees can be public, private, nonprofit, a school, or even a government agency. To nominate an employer or for more information on the awards, go to SunSentinel.com/nominate  or call 954-666-0786.

There is no cost to participate. To qualify as a South Florida Top Workplace, employees evaluate their workplace using a short 26-question survey that takes just a few minutes to complete. Companies will be surveyed through mid-January.

Energage, the Pennsylvania-based research partner for the project, conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media in 65 markets nationwide and surveyed more than 2 million employees at more than 8,000 organizations in the past year.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a celebration of excellence,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “It serves as a reminder of the vital role a people-first workplace experience plays in achieving success.”

For the 2025 awards, more than 7,000 organizations in South Florida were invited to survey their employees. Based on employee survey feedback from those that participated, 126 earned recognition as South Florida Top Workplaces.

The top South Florida finishers in each of the three categories in 2025 were:

Large category (400+ employees):

Progressive, an insurance company founded in the 1930s, now has more than 60,000 employees nationwide. It’s the second largest auto insurer in the country, and also sells commercial auto, motorcycle, and boat insurance, and homeowners insurance. Its South Florida offices are located in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miramar.

Midsize category (125-399 employees):

Voloridge Investment Management, founded in 2009, is located in Jupiter. The hedge fund employs close to 150 highly skilled, well-paid financial and technology professionals who help the firm manage billions in assets for institutional investors.

Small category (Fewer than 125 employees):

CENTURY 21 Stein Posner, of Boca Raton, was recognized in this category for the third year in a row. The real estate firm’s mission: Treat customers and employees like your family, and the business will follow. The company was initially founded as just Stein Posner in 2013 and became a franchise of CENTURY 21 in 2019.
