To determine the Best Medium Workplaces list, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of over 213,000 employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies with between 100 and 999 U.S. employees.

“Three years in a row is no small feat, and it speaks to the consistency, dedication, and pride our people bring to their work every day," said Ruben R. Fontes, CEO of ForeFront Power. “In a rapidly evolving industry, our team continues to embrace change with optimism and creativity, turning challenges into opportunities. That spirit defines our workplace culture and is what makes ForeFront a great place to work.”

The Best Medium Workplaces list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary platform to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.4 million employees this year alone.

Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

“Small and medium businesses can compete with anyone for talent when they build an irresistible culture,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies make the most of their strategic advantages as smaller organizations, ensuring every employee feels recognized for their contributions and rewarded with their fair share of the benefits of success.”
