ATLANTA – Three Georgia companies have been recognized in Fortune’s latest rankings of the best small and medium workplaces, released on Thursday. Impiricus, Aimpoint Digital, and Paramount Software Solutions have made significant impacts in their respective categories, highlighting the importance of corporate culture and employee satisfaction.
Companies on the list demonstrated high levels of trust among their employees, which has been shown to enhance productivity, engagement, and overall business performance. The rankings were compiled by Great Place to Work in collaboration with Fortune, utilizing survey data from over 1.3 million employees across the United States. The surveys included responses from a diverse range of job roles and demographics.
In the small workplace category, Impiricus, a healthcare company based in Atlanta, ranked 45th nationally. Aimpoint Digital, a professional services firm also located in Atlanta, achieved an impressive 10th place among medium companies. Paramount Software Solutions, located in Alpharetta, ranked 29th in the same medium company category. These companies exemplify how maintaining a positive workplace culture can translate to exceptional employee commitment.
The statistics reflect a trend seen among the winning companies, with 90% of employees expressing a desire to remain with their employer long-term—substantially higher than the two-thirds reported at typical workplaces of comparable size. Furthermore, engagement levels were remarkable, with 98% of employees at small companies and 95% at medium companies reporting that they often go the extra mile at work. These figures stand in stark contrast to typical workplace engagement levels, which average around 60% for small companies and 62% for medium companies.
The competitive nature of the rankings is underscored by a thorough analysis conducted by Great Place to Work, which examined validated annual survey data. This process requires companies to fulfill specific criteria regarding employee experiences, creating a benchmark for achieving high-performance work environments.
To set the context, the recognition of these Georgia companies comes amid a significant trend in the national workforce. A report from Forbes indicated a decrease in job-seeking behavior among employees, with only 35% planning to search for new positions in the latter part of the year. This is based on a survey of 160,000 employees from larger corporations, highlighting a shift as workers reaffirm their commitment to their current employers.
Delta Air Lines topped the list of best employers in Georgia, according to a separate survey from Forbes. Other notable Georgia companies making the list include Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta ranked No. 8, and Southern Company, the parent company of Georgia Power, ranked No. 10.
The overall recognition of these companies emphasizes how strong leadership and a cohesive company culture can attract and retain top talent. As the workplace landscape continues to evolve, these organizations serve as benchmarks for others aiming to enhance their own workplace environments.
