H.G. Fenton Company has earned the 2026 Award for Workplace Excellence from management consulting firm Peter Barron Stark Companies, its 3^rd consecutive award and the 10^th overall. The award is based on results of an anonymous employee opinion survey conducted every two years in partnership with the firm. Every employee is invited to provide feedback on culture, communication, company values, leadership, growth opportunities, innovation and other aspects of the workplace experience.

The Award for Workplace Excellence is presented to organizations whose employee opinion survey results reach an overall favorable response of at least 80%. H.G. Fenton’s 2026 survey results were 93.1% favorable, up from 88.3% in 2024. The company also exceeded Peter Barron Stark Companies’ “Best of the Best” benchmark (which represents the top 25% of organizations surveyed by the firm) in every survey category.

These results reflect H.G. Fenton’s longstanding commitment to creating opportunities for employees to flourish. Employee responses show strong alignment with the company’s purpose and values and a clear understanding of how their role contributes to the company’s success. They describe a culture that emphasizes growth, connection, and recognition with workplace practices that prioritize:

• Personal and professional development training, empowering employees to shape their growth journey.
• Employee connection and wellness experiences across events, benefits and perks that support overall well-being.
• Rewards and recognition, including an expanded platform that enables team members to celebrate each other’s milestone achievements and the day-to-day moments that make an impact.

“These results give us much to celebrate and learn from,” said Mike Neal, President and CEO of H.G. Fenton Company. “We value what our employees shared about their experience being a part of our Fenton community. Their feedback encourages us to keep listening and strengthening what matters most to employees so that we continue to make H.G. Fenton Company a place where we all want to be.”
