The Top Workplaces USA award honors organizations with 150 or more employees that have demonstrated excellence in employee engagement, culture, and leadership. This year, more than 42,000 organizations were invited to participate, with 1,526 companies earning the distinction of being a Top Workplace USA 2025. Cinnaire placed in the top 50 finalists in the Social Responsibility category, a reflection of the organization’s dedication to making a difference through its mission-driven work.
“At Cinnaire, we put people first—our employees, our partners, and the communities we serve. Being named a Top Workplace USA is an honor that underscores our commitment to fostering an environment where our employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated to improve lives, create jobs, and contribute to vibrant, strong communities,” said Mark McDaniel, CEO of Cinnaire. “This recognition is a testament to our incredible team and the culture we’ve built together.”
Unlike other workplace awards, Top Workplaces USA is based solely on employee feedback, gathered through a rigorous survey process conducted by Energage, a research-backed engagement technology firm. The survey, taken throughout 2024, included employees from 2,251 companies and assessed key themes such as:
- Whether employees feel valued, respected, and supported
- Opportunities for development and growth
- Whether employees feel empowered to execute work that aligns with company values
“A Top Workplace award brings a company’s culture to the national stage and helps them differentiate themselves in a fiercely competitive market,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “It’s an honor for the workforce and an effective tool to attract the right talent to an organization.”
Cinnaire remains dedicated to fostering a workplace culture built on collaboration, purpose, and impact. This recognition further solidifies Cinnaire’s role as an industry leader committed to both its people and its mission—driving positive change through innovative financing and development strategies that support communities.
