Columbus CEO’s Top Workplaces 2025 recognizes two New Albany International Business Park companies that are striving to create winning workforces that focus on employee success. From communications and work-life balance to flexibility, the honorees aim to help employees succeed by promoting communication, work-life balance and flexibility. The local winners in the midsized company category, included Feazel, a roofing and exterior services company, at #14 with 150 employees and Amgen, a biotechnology firm, at #19 with 335 employees. Columbus CEO surveyed employees at 120 organizations in central Ohio to determine the winners who “exemplify the significance of a people-first workplace experience, reminding us that employees are the heart of any thriving organization,” noted says Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage, the company that has conducted the employee survey.

For the 2025 winners list, 2,141 organizations were asked to survey their employees, and 120 agreed to do so. Based on the survey feedback and national benchmarks Energage established based on feedback from about 30 million employees, 81 earned recognitions as a Columbus Top Workplace. Employers earn Top Workplaces recognition if their aggregated employee feedback score exceeds national benchmarks.

Participants are grouped into size bands to best compare similar employee experiences. Energage has established those benchmarks based on feedback collected from about 30 million employees in the last 19 years. Employers are ranked within those groups based on the strength of the survey feedback.
