Employee feedback earns KE&G national recognition for building a people-first culture rooted in ownership.
At KE&G, we've always believed that great projects start with great people.
That belief has earned national recognition.
We're proud to announce that KE&G has been named a 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplace, an award that recognizes organizations across the country for creating exceptional workplace cultures where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
Unlike many workplace awards, this recognition wasn't determined by a panel of judges. It was earned through the voices of our employee owners.
Built on Employee Feedback
The USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is based entirely on confidential employee feedback collected through a research-backed survey administered by Energage, the organization behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006.
The survey measures key aspects of the employee experience, including:
- Feeling respected and supported
- Confidence in leadership
- Opportunities for growth
- Meaningful work
- Workplace engagement
- Organizational values and culture
More than 40,500 organizations were invited to participate in this year's program, with winners selected based on authentic employee responses that measure the strength of an organization's workplace culture.
A Reflection of Employee Ownership
As a 100% employee-owned company, this recognition carries special meaning.
Every employee owner has a personal investment in the success of KE&G. That ownership creates a culture where accountability, teamwork, innovation, and long-term thinking become part of how we work every day.
Being recognized as a Top Workplace reflects the commitment our employee owners make to one another—whether they're building critical infrastructure in the field, supporting projects from the office, or mentoring the next generation of construction professionals.
“The people I work around and with not only give me the opportunity to grow as a worker but as a person as well.”
More Than a Place to Work
Building infrastructure is what we do.
Building careers is equally important.
At KE&G, we believe people do their best work when they have opportunities to grow, leaders who invest in their success, and a workplace where their contributions matter.
From apprenticeship and leadership development programs to employee ownership and ongoing training, we're committed to creating an environment where employees can build meaningful, long-term careers.
Thank You to Our Employee Owners
This award belongs to every employee owner who took the time to share their honest feedback and to the people who make KE&G a great place to work every day.
Your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to one another continue to shape the culture that defines our company.
Together, we're building more than infrastructure—we're building a workplace where people can grow, succeed, and share in the future we're creating.
Thank you for making KE&G a 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplace.
