16 New Organizations Recognized in the 2025 Kudos Best Culture Awards

Calgary, AB — [Nov 18, 2025] — Kudos®, the leading employee recognition and engagement platform, is proud to announce the winners of the 2025 Best Culture Awards, celebrating organizations that go above and beyond to create outstanding workplace cultures rooted in recognition, connection, and impact.

Now in its 5th year, the Best Culture Awards honor organizations that exemplify the power of recognition in driving engagement, belonging, and performance. Winners are selected based on a detailed evaluation of their culture practices, employee engagement strategies, and demonstrated impact on their people and business outcomes.

“Our research shows that organizations with strong recognition cultures see higher engagement, lower turnover, and stronger performance,” said Muni Boga, President and CEO of Kudos. “The 2025 Best Culture Award winners exemplify this connection, proving that appreciation is one of the most powerful drivers of success.”

This year’s cohort includes a mix of first-time honorees and returning winners who successfully recertified their recognition-driven cultures, demonstrating an enduring commitment to employee appreciation and engagement excellence.

“It’s inspiring to see so many organizations not only achieving but maintaining exceptional workplace cultures year after year,” continues Boga. “Our recertified winners demonstrate that a great culture isn’t built overnight but rather sustained through consistent appreciation, transparency, and care for people.”
