WASHINGTON, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Universities Space Research Association (USRA) today announced that it is a winner of the 2024 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence and the Work-Life Flexibility Awards.

Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards recognize organizations that excel in specific areas of workplace culture. They are awarded by Energage, a purpose-driven organization that develops solutions to build and brand top workplaces.

Workplace culture reflects beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions. It determines how employees interact, and it sets the context for everything a company does. The best cultures prioritize their people and share many characteristics in common, including genuine employee appreciation; open, two-way communication, open-mindedness and innovative thinking.

The Work-Life Flexibility Award is provided to the top 25 percent of organizations where employees say they have work flexibility and are provided with remote opportunities to balance their work and personal lives while maintaining high performance.

Dr. Jeffrey Isaacson, President and CEO of Universities Space Research Association stated, "It is very gratifying for USRA to win the Workplaces Culture Excellence Award and the Work-Life Flexibility Award. The collective feedback of our employees validates USRA's commitment to empowering employees with flexible work options and cultivating a leadership approach that values their input and contributions."

Energage uses a purely objective method to determine the Top Workplaces National Culture Excellence Awards and the Work-life Flexibility Award. The workplaces are divided into groups based on the number of employees, and scores are then calculated solely from employee responses to our Workplace Survey statements.
