Richmond, Virginia, March 07, 2018 -- RICHMOND, Va. (March 7, 2018) – Outdoor Living Brands has been named a 2018 Top Workplace by The Richmond Times-Dispatch. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools.

“Top Workplaces is more than just recognition,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement.”
“Being named a 2018 Top Workplace by The Richmond Times-Dispatch is validation from our talented and dedicated employees that, together, we have created the kind of culture we envisioned almost 10 years ago when we formed Outdoor Living Brands,” said Chris Grandpre, chairman and chief executive officer of Outdoor Living Brands. “As a family of franchise concepts, our team is focused every day on achieving world class satisfaction ratings from our franchisees and world class Net Promoter Scores from our end customers. We’re thrilled to also earn high employee satisfaction ratings through Energage’s confidential workplace survey and very appreciative of the strong commitment to this culture demonstrated by our team members.”
“Becoming a Top Workplace isn’t something organizations can buy,” Claffey said. “It’s an achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It’s a big deal.”
