Meritan is Named Women-Led Top Workplace!

March was Women’s History Month, and Top Workplaces has recognized Meritan as a woman-led organization that “believes in the power of putting people first” (Woman-Led Top Workplaces 2021).

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Energage has honored Meritan with a national Top Workplace Woman-Led Culture Excellence Award. The recognition is based solely on feedback captured by the Energage Workplace Survey, a research-backed employee engagement survey. Participating organizations are evaluated against the industry’s most robust benchmark, based on 14 years of research and data from 70,000 organizations and 23 million employee surveys.

Melanie Keller, President and CEO of Meritan stated, “Meritan strives to have a culture that not only supports, but empowers our employees. We are honored to be recognized at a national level. While I am truly humbled by the acknowledgement, as a female CEO with a daughter, I look forward to the day when female leadership is just part of the business normal and we do not need a separate category for recognition. I hope young ladies will see me and other female leaders and say to themselves, "I can do that too one day!"

Meritan’s Board Chair, Kim Strickland, stated, “Melanie is one of the smartest and most diligent women I know, and I’m proud to have her as President and CEO of Meritan. I can’t think of a better person to lead the compassionate and community focused team at Meritan.”

“What better way for Energage to celebrate Women’s History Month than to recognize those woman-led organizations across the country that have made a positive impact on the workplace by prioritizing people,” said Lisa Sordilla, vice president of human resources for Energage. “Each day, we are seeing women raise the bar in the workplace and it’s an honor to recognize these well-deserving organizations with the Woman-Led Culture Excellence award. Through this recognition, we hope to give woman-led companies the credit they deserve and support their continued growth by showcasing their outstanding commitment to employees.
