The Salt Lake Tribune Utah Top Workplaces 2025 celebrates companies who have built outstanding cultures. Winners of the Top Workplaces list are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party administered employee engagement survey, issued by Energage. Results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including culture drivers that are proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees of a company feeling respected, supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute, among many other measurements.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces does this, and it pays dividends.”

“BZI is proud to be a rural Utah business, and stand next to many impressive companies across the state being honored in this way. We are especially thrilled that our team members expressed that our culture is supportive across many variables – enough so to put us in the top three for the entire state of Utah,” said James Barlow, CEO of BZI. “Creating high-value opportunities and building thriving communities, including our own BZI community, is core to our purpose as an organization. Recognition by Top Workplaces is a meaningful indicator of our success.”
