Award Staffing Named #3 Top Workplace by the StarTribune
EDINA, MN- We are proud to announce we have been listed #3 Top Workplace by the StarTribune’s Top Workplaces 2025!
This award is an incredible honor. But what makes this recognition even more special? It comes as a testament to the very heart of Award Staffing—our people. This achievement highlights how our team leads, cares, and builds a culture that inspires us every single day.
At Award Staffing, “culture” isn’t just a trendy word we toss around. It’s not a slogan on a wall or a paragraph in an onboarding slide deck. It goes deeper. Our culture is a commitment, an everyday promise to create a space where people feel supported, valued, and motivated to succeed.
What Makes This Recognition Meaningful?
A Top Workplace award is not just about metrics or performance; it’s about how employees feel about their work and the organization they represent. It’s about trust, collaboration, and purpose.
This recognition didn’t come from us. It came from the voices of our associates and internal team members who responded to the survey. Being acknowledged in this way reaffirms a fundamental truth we’ve always held firm to—we succeed because the people working here are invested, and they make Award Staffing what it is.
Whether they’re recruiters, sales professionals, account managers, or part of our support teams, each person here contributes far beyond their job title. They show up, they lead with integrity, and they create an environment where every role feels essential.
Fostering Exceptional Culture
We don’t just write policies or hang up motivational posters. Instead, we focus on creating a living, breathing culture built through shared stories, moments of teamwork, and a commitment to excellence. Great culture comes down to the small, consistent actions we take every day. It’s what we choose to do when no one’s looking. It’s how we respond to challenges and failures.
Our people embody values that go beyond tasks:
-Showing Up: Every person on our team makes the conscious decision to bring their best every day.
-Doing Hard Things: We value resilience and tackle challenges with a mindset of problem-solving and grit.
-Choosing Dignity Over Ease: Respect, kindness, and fairness always take precedence.
Connecting to Purpose
When work matters, it’s not just something you do; it becomes a part of who you are. At Award Staffing, we make sure our associates find purpose in their roles, whether they’re helping someone secure a meaningful position or enabling businesses to grow with the right talent. This recognition affirms what we’ve always believed: when people feel their work matters, they give more than time-they give themselves. That generosity is scared.
Empowering Leadership Across the Board
This award belongs to the teams who go beyond what’s expected:
-Recruiters who care about matching candidates based on culture, not just qualifications.
-Sales professionals who listen more than they pitch and build trust through solutions.
-Onsite managers who dedicate time to walk the production floor and understand the real challenges their teams face daily.
-Support teams who build trust not with grand gestures, but with small consistent integrity.
Our team demonstrates that real leadership comes not solely from those at the top but from every touchpoint across the organization.
