There’s still time to earn recognition as a Top Workplace in the Baton Rouge metro area.

This is the second year The Advocate will shine a spotlight on outstanding workplaces in the Capital Area, as viewed by workers. Any organization with 35 or more employees in the region is eligible to seek a Top Workplaces award. Companies will be honored in spring 2027.

The nomination deadline has been extended to Dec. 18, 2026. Anyone can submit a nomination. Participating employers can be public, private, non-profit, a school, or a government agency. To nominate an employer or for more information on the awards, just go to theadvocate.com/nominate.

There is no cost to participate. To qualify as a Baton Rouge Top Workplace, employees evaluate their workplace using a 26-question survey that takes just a few minutes to complete. Companies will be surveyed through January.

Energage, the Pennsylvania-based research partner for the project, conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media in 70 markets nationwide and surveyed more than 2 million employees at more than 8,000 organizations in the past year.

For the 2026 awards, 10 companies in the Baton Rouge region earned recognition as Top Workplaces.
