DENVER – The Colorado Chamber today has announced the honorees for the inaugural “Companies that Rock the Rockies” program, a new initiative recognizing Colorado employers creating the best workplace cultures for their employees.
“We are proud to recognize businesses that go above and beyond to build the best cultures for their employees through the Companies that Rock the Rockies program,” said Colorado Chamber President and CEO Loren Furman. “These companies set the standard for what it means to be an outstanding employer in Colorado by fostering environments where employees thrive. Their dedication to building the best workplaces makes them leaders in our business community, inspiring employees to take pride in where they work.”
Each company was selected through a comprehensive two-part assessment process managed by Workforce Research Group, which operates top workplace programs across the nation. The selection process included a thorough evaluation of both employer policies and benefits, as well as feedback from employees through an anonymous engagement survey.
The honorees demonstrated a strong commitment to fostering positive workplace environments, with initiatives that support employee recognition, professional growth and overall wellbeing. In an analysis across all employee responses at all companies that made the list, 98% of employees say they feel pride in working for their employer and 91% expressed confidence that organizational leadership is dedicated to supporting employee well-being. Additionally, 85% of employees report being satisfied with their work-life balance, reflecting the positive work environments these companies have cultivated.
The companies will be honored at the Colorado Chamber’s Executive Connections Reception on April 22, 2025, where the winner rankings will be announced.
