“I have the freedom and flexibility to explore new ideas and technologies; my ideas are welcomed and supported by leadership; I have open access to leadership, and I’m growing every day.”
That’s a direct quote from Barnes Dennig’s most recent employee satisfaction survey, and a great illustration of why the firm is being recognized as a Top Workplace by the Enquirer and USA TODAY for the 16th time.
“We’re proud of the workplace we’ve built together, but we’re equally focused on what’s ahead. Our commitment is to continue creating an environment where our people are challenged, supported, and empowered to grow, because that’s how we build a brighter future for our clients, our communities, and each other,” says Barnes Dennig Managing Director Jay Rammes. “We’ve always believed that a strong culture is one of our greatest competitive advantages. It helps us serve clients at the highest level, attract exceptional people, and continue evolving to meet new opportunities.”
Employer recognition is a strong validation of an organization’s commitment to its culture and to its people. And when the recognition comes straight from employee feedback, it’s especially powerful. “Organizations that listen to their people consistently outperform,” says Energage CEO Eric Rubino, whose company conducts the survey. “Because Top Workplaces awards are based entirely on employee feedback, they reveal what people truly experience at work. The winning employers aren’t just talking about culture. They’re intentionally building it and proving it through the voice of their people.”
Barnes Dennig Talent Director Kevin Dawson says, “Continuing to earn this award shows we’re focused on and getting the most important things right: hiring top talent. Positioning them to be successful. Supporting them through the demands of this profession. Investing in their growth. And building a firm where they feel they belong today, tomorrow, and throughout their careers. The strength of our culture isn’t something HR creates from the top down. It’s something every person here contributes to every day. Our employees earned this recognition. As a firm, we simply get the privilege of celebrating it!”
Fractional CHRO and Barnes Dennig’s Fractional HR practice leader Amy Hehman reflects, “Top Workplace recognition is a culture transformation milestone. It signals to external candidates that our values aren’t just aspirational: they’re operational. And for our internal employees, it affirms that their feedback, growth, and wellbeing are shaping the organization in real time. Awards like these don’t create great cultures; they confirm that the work of building one is truly taking hold.”
Organizations don’t have to build strong workplace cultures on their own. Barnes Dennig’s Fractional HR team partners with clients to strengthen employee engagement, enhance employer branding, attract top talent, and create workplaces where people can thrive.
Bob Barnes and Al Dennig founded Barnes Dennig on the belief that caring for clients, colleagues, and community in equal measure is a better way to do business. More than six decades later, we’re proud to see those values reflected not only in the work we do, but in the experiences of the people who make Barnes Dennig what it is.
