A total of 130 companies were recognized as Utah's Top Workplaces during an awards luncheon held Oct. 22. The rankings were determined by employee surveys, with Achieve Today, Jump.ai, and Nightingale Education Group each securing the top spot in their respective size categories.
The 2026 Top Workplaces Awards Luncheon took place at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper. Achieve Today was named the number one small Top Workplace, while Jump.ai earned the top rank for midsize companies. Nightingale Education Group was recognized as the number one large employer.
Winners are selected based on confidential surveys conducted by Energage, an HR technology company. The survey evaluates 26 questions regarding topics such as pay, benefits, leadership, and work-life balance. The program is currently hosted by the City Journals, the publisher of the Salt Lake Business Journal and 13 community newspapers, with CHG Healthcare serving as the 2026 presenting sponsor.
The Top Workplaces program is operated nationally by Energage, which has collected feedback from millions of employees across more than 70,000 organizations. In Utah, the awards were originally published by The Salt Lake Tribune beginning in 2014. Any Utah employer with 35 or more employees, including public, private, nonprofit, and government entities, is eligible to participate at no cost.
