Atlanta – Three Georgia companies have earned recognition on Fortune’s Best Small and Medium Workplaces list, reflecting their commitment to fostering strong workplace cultures and positive employee experiences. The list, released on Thursday, ranks companies based on employee trust, productivity, engagement, and overall business performance, and was developed in collaboration with Great Place to Work.
This year, the rankings highlighted a total of 100 companies, categorized into Best Small Workplaces and Best Medium Workplaces for 2025. Among them, Impiricus, a healthcare firm based in Atlanta, achieved a notable position, coming in at 45th among small companies on a national level. Meanwhile, Aimpoint Digital, a professional services provider also located in Atlanta, secured 10th place among medium-sized companies nationally. Paramount Software Solutions, an IT company situated in Alpharetta, took the 29th spot among medium companies.
The success of these companies can be attributed to their ability to cultivate a desirable work environment. A significant finding from the survey conducted by Great Place to Work shows that 90% of employees at the recognized organizations expressed a desire to remain with their employer in the long term. In contrast, approximately 66% of employees in similar-sized typical workplaces reported the same sentiment.
Additional data revealed that the winning companies experienced higher levels of employee effort, with 98% of employees at small companies and 95% at medium companies indicating a strong work commitment. This is markedly higher than the averages of 60% and 62% for typical workplaces of similar sizes. These statistics reflect the effective strategies employed by the awarded companies to enhance productivity and engagement among their workforce.
Michael C. Bush, the CEO of Great Place to Work, has noted that small and medium-sized businesses have a unique opportunity to draw in talent through the creation of a robust workplace culture. The emphasis on employee experience is a critical factor in establishing these appealing work environments, which is clearly reflected in the survey results.
The evaluation process for these rankings involved the collection of validated survey data from over 1.3 million employees across the United States. The selection criteria focused on delivering a positive employee experience that encompasses various job titles and demographic backgrounds, ensuring inclusivity within the workplace.
The achievements of Impiricus, Aimpoint Digital, and Paramount Software Solutions underscore the importance of fostering a supportive and engaging work culture in retaining talent and enhancing employee satisfaction. As competition for skilled workers intensifies, the focus on creating positive work environments is likely to become increasingly crucial for businesses seeking long-term success in the marketplace.
These three companies exemplify the potential impact of investing in a constructive workplace atmosphere, proving that workplace culture plays an integral role in driving organizational success. As more businesses recognize this, the landscape of employee engagement and workplace satisfaction continues to evolve positively.
