FAIRFIELD, IA – September 23, 2024 — Cambridge, a leading independent financial solutions firm serving 3,800 financial professionals nationwide, has been named a Top Workplace in Iowa for the 14^th consecutive year. Cambridge was recognized among large companies in Iowa that employ over 500 associates, and has been named to the Top Workplace Iowa list every year since the award was created in 2011. The regional Top Workplaces award is built on the program’s longstanding history of surveying more than 20 million employees across 54 markets.

“We are humbled and grateful to be recognized as a Top Workplace in Iowa for the 14^th year in a row,” said Cambridge CEO and Co-Chairman of the Board, Amy Webber. “Our associates are at the heart of everything we do, and we are always looking for ways to help them thrive and build a rewarding career. It’s an honor to be named a top workplace in Iowa alongside some terrific companies.”

The Top Workplace Iowa list is based on associate feedback through an anonymous survey conducted by Energage, an independent research company. The survey focuses on three components of the workplace in particular:

• Satisfaction — An assessment of the day-to-day job
• Organizational Health — An assessment of the fundamentals of the company
• Engagement — An assessment of how associates feel about working at the company overall

In addition to its 14 Top Workplace Iowa awards, Cambridge earlier this year won its fourth consecutive Top Workplace USA award and its third straight Top Workplace Industry (Financial Services) award¹. To learn more about Top Workplaces and its award methodology, click here.
