FAIRFIELD, IA – February 1, 2023 — Cambridge is proud to be named a Top Workplace USA for the third consecutive year. Organizations named to the annual Top Workplaces USA list are recognized for building a positive and productive work environment, and are selected purely based on employee feedback gathered through an engagement survey conducted by Energage, an independent research company. Over the span of nearly two decades, the Top Workplaces program has surveyed more than 23 million employees at 70,000 organizations around the country.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of the top places to work in the country alongside some truly outstanding companies and organizations from many different industries,” said Cambridge CEO Amy Webber. “To be included in this list for the third consecutive year is validation that our internally-focused initiatives have been effective in creating a work environment that empowers our associates and makes them feel appreciated for the great work they are doing every day. We thank our associates for their valued feedback.”

The Top Workplaces awards program honors companies that are making the world a better place to work by prioritizing a people-centered culture and giving associates a voice. The complete program includes three pillars — National (i.e. USA), Regional (i.e. Iowa), and Industry (i.e. Financial Services) — and works with Energage to survey employees around the nation. The survey focuses on three components of the workplace in particular:

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

In addition to its three Top Workplace USA awards, Cambridge was named a Top Workplace in the Financial Services Industry last year and has earned 12 Top Workplace Iowa honors¹. Learn more about the award methodology here.
