Chantilly, VA. (April 9, 2026) – System High Corporation, a Ridgeline International Company, announced today it has earned the prestigious 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award. This marks the first time System High has been recognized at the national level as a Top Workplace.
This award honors organizations with 150 or more employees that have created exceptional, people-first cultures. This year, more than 1,500 companies have been recognized for their commitment to fostering a workplace environment that values employee listening and engagement. USA TODAY showcased the winners online and at the National Awards Summit in Nashville.
“This recognition reflects the culture our team has built together. A culture grounded in purpose, trust, and a deep commitment to serving something bigger than ourselves. A place where the best come to get even better. When you invest in people and create an environment where they can grow and thrive, performance follows,” said System High President Sarah Lord. “It’s an honor to serve our employees and their families with the same level of care and commitment they show colleagues and mission partners.”
The winners are determined by authentic employee feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance.
“Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture,” said CEO of Energage Eric Rubino. “This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition – it is proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.”
