Mental Health Connecticut Earns Prestigious 2025 USA TODAY Top Workplaces Award

Farmington, Connecticut 03/21/2025 – Mental Health Connecticut is proud to announce that it has earned the prestigious 2025 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award. 

The award honors organizations with 150 or more employees that have created exceptional, people-first cultures. This year, more than 42,000 organizations were invited to participate. The winners are recognized for their commitment to fostering a workplace environment that values employee listening and engagement. USA TODAY showcased the winners online and at the National Awards Summit in Las Vegas. 

The winners are determined by authentic employee feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance. 

“Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition — it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.” 

Mental Health Connecticut’s leadership attributes this achievement to its staff and deep commitment to fostering a workplace where employees feel supported, valued, and empowered. 

“At Mental Health Connecticut, our mission begins with the well-being of our team,” said Luis Pérez, President & CEO of Mental Health Connecticut. “This award is a direct reflection of the passion and dedication of our employees. We are committed to maintaining a workplace where people feel heard, supported, and inspired to create meaningful change for those we serve.”
