Boca Raton, FL, May 27, 2020 – Rapoport’s Restaurant Group has been named the number one medium-size workplace for South Florida Sun Sentinel’s “Top Places to Work” 2020 list. The group also received the ‘Leadership’ specialty award for the mid-size category.
The list, which recognizes 90 companies to work for in South Florida is based solely on employee feedback, was gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.
“I am humbled and honored that Rapoport’s Restaurant Group was selected as THE top work place for medium-size workplaces category for this year’s ‘Top Places to Work.’” said Burt Rapoport, president of Rapoport’s Restaurant Group. “From growing up being a 3rd generation restaurateur I have always appreciated the hard work and commitment of all hospitality industry employees. I am very proud of our managers, chefs, and Director of Human Resources for perpetuating our culture and reinforcing our company’s values.”
“For more than a decade, the Top Workplaces award has helped organizations stand out among their competitors to attract talent,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “This differentiation is more important than ever in today’s tight labor market. Establishing a continuous conversation with employees so you have a deep understanding of your unique culture is proven to help achieve higher referral rates, lower employee turnover, and double the employee engagement levels. No longer is recognition simply a much-deserved cause for celebration, but it’s fast becoming mission-critical to establish a competitive advantage for recruitment and retention.”
