THE DES MOINES REGISTER NAMES BAKER GROUP A WINNER OF THE STATE OF IOWA 2021 TOP WORKPLACES AWARD FOR THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE YHEAR
09.27.2021

For the fifth consecutive year, Baker Group has been recognized by The Iowa Top Workplaces as one of the Top Workplaces in Iowa. Baker Group has been recognized as one of the top 10 large employers – organizations with more than 500 employees – each year since 2017.

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Energage, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture are measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, and more.

“Our company culture is very employee-focused,” says Baker Group Chairman and CEO BJ Baker III. “We want every employee to feel that they are a part of the Baker Group family. We are focused on ensuring our employees feel cared for, that they are engaged in their work, that they are working toward their potential, and that they have long-lasting, healthy relationships at work.”

“Creating a top workplace is about more than a robust benefits package and vacation time,” Baker says. In 2019, Baker Group implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, becoming an employee-owned organization. “We are focused on ensuring employees are aligned with our vision and feel valued in their positions. An honor like this provides further evidence that as a team we are on the same page and our clients can Expect the Best because of the contributions of an extraordinary workforce.”

Iowa Top Workplaces is a part of the Top Workplaces recognition program, the nation's most credible employer recognition program. In Iowa, the program is presented by the Des Moines Register.  Thank you to the dedicated team who made this award possible.
