Sheltering Arms Institute Earns 2025 Top Workplaces Award

RICHMOND, Va. (April 16, 2025) — Sheltering Arms Institute is proud to announce it has once again earned the Top Workplaces designation for a second consecutive year, recognized nationally by USA Today and in Central Virginia by the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The award honors organizations that have created exceptional, people-first cultures and recognizes their commitment to fostering a workplace environment that values employee listening and engagement.

“We’re incredibly honored to receive this recognition,” said Amanda Worley, VP of Human Resources at Sheltering Arms Institute. “It’s a reflection of our team members’ unwavering commitment to our mission and values. Their dedication, collaboration, and passion for innovation continue to shape a workplace culture that truly makes a difference—for each other and for the patients and caregivers we serve.”

This award is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement company Energage. The confidential survey uniquely measures employees’ experiences as well as specific strengths of the organization. The results are calculated based on team member responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes such as employees feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute, which are proven indicators of high performance.

Organizations with 150 or more employees are eligible and more than 42,000 organizations were invited to participate this year. In addition to the Top Workplaces designation, Sheltering Arms Institute earned distinctions for Culture Excellence and other subcategories, including strong values, meaningful work, innovative ideas, and supportive management.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition, it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.”
