Northeast Ohio Top Workplaces 2025
For the eighth consecutive year, Redwood has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by Northeast Ohio Top Workplaces through Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer.
This year, 188 companies, nonprofits, schools and other employers in largest, large, mid-size and small categories were recognized. Redwood ranked 16th in the mid-size category, up 12 spots from last year’s rankings.
Workplaces were evaluated based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner, Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute, to name a few.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
