GBQ, a Top 100 tax, accounting and consulting firm, is pleased to announce its win as a 2024 Top Workplace by The Blade, a Toledo-based publication, for the second consecutive year. This marks the third time GBQ has been honored for its people-first workplace culture since entering the market in December 2020.
“At GBQ, we know that when our people flourish, our communities can thrive and business grows,” shared Toledo Managing Director Bret Clark. “While the firm has changed due to growth and market demands, we have remained dedicated to creating and maintaining a unique culture of open communication, collaboration and diversity. Receiving workplace culture accolades across all office locations fuels our commitment to cultivating an environment that empowers growth of our team and the communities we’re proud to serve.”
Since 2014, The Blade has partnered with Energage to identify the area’s best employers through an evaluation of anonymous employee feedback, with participating companies being measured and ranked according to several workplace culture benchmarks. These benchmarks encompass the extent to which employees feel valued, respected and supported, enabled to grow, closely aligned with the organization, and empowered to execute. Among the 58 honorees recognized among the list of Top Workplaces, GBQ proudly ranked 4th in the Small Business category, featuring companies with fewer than 74 local employees. Additionally, GBQ was selected as the recipient of the Superior Communication award.
Over the years, Energage and Top Workplaces have studied over 70,000 organizations. Research shows that organizations with a Top Workplaces award have a 68% engagement rate, while average organizations only have 31%.
