Ascend Joins Special Event Honoring 10+ Years of Great Place To Work Certification in 2025
Recognized companies at this event received a distinctive “10 Year” award, a personal meeting moment with President Paul Wolcott of Great Place To Work, and a valuable opportunity to network with fellow Decade of Great leaders. “Great Place To Work Certification benchmarks the exceptional workplace that Ascend has built, highlighting their trust-based leadership and commitment to employee growth and well-being,” says Mr. Wolcott.
Wolcott emphasizes that this recognition reflects a company’s ability to turn employee feedback into meaningful action and sustained cultural excellence, stating “This prestigious designation is sought by companies that accelerate their business performance by going beyond measuring just employee engagement. Certified companies trust Great Place To Work’s products and services, knowing that fostering great leaders and measuring trust benefits both people and business. Pursuing this Certification helps organizations capture key employee feedback and benchmark their workplace against the best, driving improvements in productivity, innovation, and sustained market-beating performance."
"We are incredibly proud to receive this Decade of Great honor from Great Place To Work. It reinforces our long-held belief that a culture built on trust, employee growth, and well-being is not only the right thing to do, but a key driver of our sustained success," said Mike Maiorino, COO of Ascend.
In addition to being certified as a Great Place To Work year after year, Ascend has also been recognized as a Best Small Workplace and a Best Consulting & Professional Services Workplace for multiple years. Team members have cited teamwork, sense of ownership, flexibility, and trust as contributing factors to the 99% "a great place to work" employee rating (compared to 88% for the 2025 top 100 Best Workplaces in the United States).
