USA TODAY Names Sourcewell a 2025 Top Workplace
National honor highlights organization's continued excellence in workplace culture and employee engagement
Sourcewell is proud to announce that it has earned the 2025 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award for the second year in a row and has been recognized in the Culture Excellence Awards in the categories of work-life flexibility, compensation & benefits, leadership, and purpose & values
The Top Workplaces 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.
Sourcewell CEO Dr. Chad Coauette says the recognition is a testament to Sourcewell’s on-going commitment to fostering a work environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to make a meaningful impact.
"It’s an honor to once again be included on USA TODAY’s Top Workplaces and to receive recognition in the Culture Excellence Awards,” Coauette said. “Our work begins with our people, and it is their determination, passion, and commitment to excellence that continues to inspire a workplace culture that everyone can be proud to be a part of.”
Over the past three years, Sourcewell has intentionally expanded to a multi-state workforce, growing from four to 28 states. This growth reflects not only the organization’s momentum, but also its commitment to fostering a flexible, inclusive culture that supports employees across the country.
The winners for USA TODAY Top Workplaces 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. “This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition — it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.”
