Working at Savage

Savage and Associates named a 2020 top workplace

Savage and Associates has been named one of the region’s top workplaces for the fourth consecutive year by the Toledo Blade.

For the second time in four years, Savage was the highest-ranked business on the list of midsize companies in the region (those employing 75-299).

“We are humbled and honored to receive this distinction for the fourth year in a row,” stated J.R. Toland, president and CEO, Savage and Associates. “The award is a direct result of the incredible passion from our advisors and staff.”

Being named a top workplace is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC.

The Blade partnered with Energage to conduct the anonymous survey that uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, to name a few.

“For more than a decade, the Top Workplaces award has helped organizations stand out among their competitors to attract talent,” said Eric Rubino, CEO, Energage. “This differentiation is more important than ever in today’s tight labor market. Establishing a continuous conversation with employees so you have a deep understanding of your unique culture is proven to help achieve higher referral rates, lower employee turnover, and double the employee engagement levels. No longer is recognition simply a much-deserved cause for celebration, but it’s fast becoming mission-critical to establish a competitive advantage for recruitment and retention.”

Farmers Market Comes to Savage

When Liz Harmon read an article describing the growing popularity of hosting Farmers Markets at work, she thought her coworkers would love the idea. Liz, Savage’s Practice Development and Recruitment Coordinator, also saw a connection to the company’s longtime commitment to encouraging healthful habits.

“As a company, we try hard to focus on work-life balance and employee wellness, and we had done so long before it became in vogue,” says Liz. “So the idea for a weekly fruit and vegetable stand on the Savage campus was well-received by management.”

For more than 40 years, Savage has made fresh fruit available to associates each workday. Providing easy access to fresh local produce at our office entryway is an extension to that employee benefit.

Supporting our local communities is one of Savage’s core values, so we made certain to partner with a produce vendor with strong area ties.

“So far, it’s been popular with our employees,” reports Liz. “Everyone has been excited to take a quick break and soak up some sunshine while checking out the delicious options available each week.”

The Farmers Market takes place every Thursday afternoon from 3:00-5:00 p.m. in the Savage parking lot throughout the growing season.

For the third consecutive year, The Blade has ranked Savage and Associates among the Top Workplaces in the Toledo region. In 2019, The Blade recognized 45 companies and organizations for the annual honor based on feedback collected from thousands of area employees.

Toledo area public, private, nonprofit, and government organizations that employ 35 or more people are eligible to take part in the Top Workplaces contest. Savage has been recognized in each year it has participated.

“For decades, the employees and the advisors of Savage have known that it’s a great place to work,” says Elizabeth Harmon, the company’s practice development and recruitment director. “Getting this recognition means that the rest of the community knows, too.”

As in past years, The Blade partnered with Energage Media Partnerships to conduct the workplace poll. Workers for nominated employers were invited to complete a 24-question survey about their companies.

“Top Workplaces rewards employers that work hard to build a healthy workplace culture,” says Energage’s director Bob Helbig. “It’s good for morale, and it’s good for business.”
