We’re proud to announce that Kobie has been named a National Top Workplace in the United States for the fourth year in a row.
This recognition — awarded by Energage based solely on confidential employee survey data — is one of the most meaningful validations a workplace can earn. There’s no application. No judges. Just your teammates, telling the truth about what it’s like to work here.
Four years in a row. We don’t take that lightly.
What Is a National Top Workplace Award?
A National Top Workplace is an employer recognition based solely on confidential employee survey responses, administered by Energage, an independent employee engagement company, and published in partnership with USA TODAY.
The survey measures 15 drivers of engaged workplace cultures proven to predict high performance — including values, leadership, DE&I, innovation, and growth. If your teammates don’t feel it, you don’t win.
Winning four consecutive years signals something deeper than a good year — it means the culture is consistent, sustainable, and real.
What Has Kobie Done to Build This Kind of Culture?
Culture doesn’t happen by accident. Over the past several years, Kobie has made deliberate, sustained investments in its people and the results show up in the survey data year after year.
Some of what’s made the difference:
- A people strategy built around our core values. It’s not something just posted on our intranet, but lived in how we hire, develop, support teammates, and lead
- Crucial Conversations training and a culture of assuming positive intent, creating psychological safety at every level
- Leadership development for everyone because we believe every teammate is a leader, regardless of title or level
- Specific coaching and growth opportunitiy programs that help people build careers, not just fill roles
- A genuine commitment to DE&I woven into our values, work, and daily decisions through our initiatives driven by our dedicated DE&I leadership committee
What Does It Mean to Work at Kobie?
At Kobie, we operate on a foundation of freedom and responsibility. Teammates are trusted to own their work, take initiative, and grow — and in return, we invest in their development and create an environment where they can do their best work.
With teammates across the U.S. and India, connection is intentional. Our remote-first model is supported by a network of local hubs where nearby Kobians gather for happy hours, volunteer events, and team meetups. Keeping our culture human, no matter the distance.
Recognition That Goes Beyond the National Stage
The national award is the centerpiece but it’s not the only recognition Kobie earned this year.
For the fourth consecutive year, Kobie has also been named a Tampa Bay Top Workplace. And for the third year running, we’ve been recognized as a Top Remote Workplace by Monster, a reflection of how well our distributed team stays connected, engaged, and supported.
Kobie is also the only loyalty provider to hold both Forrester Leader status and external culture recognition simultaneously — proof that how we work is just as strong as the work we do.
