Hartford, CT — Mental Health Connecticut (MHC) is proud to announce that it has been named a 2025 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Award winner by Energage, a purpose-driven organization that helps companies build and brand Top Workplaces.
The Top Workplaces program has a 17-year history of recognizing organizations that prioritize people-first cultures, with winners selected based solely on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous, research-backed survey.
- MHC received national recognition in three key categories that reflect its commitment to fostering a thriving, supportive, and growth-oriented workplace:
Employee Appreciation – This award celebrates organizations who demonstrate gratefulness for the efforts of employees, and that employees reciprocate by being motivated to give their best at work. - Employee Well-Being – This award celebrates organizations who put the health and wellness of their employees at the center of their workplace culture.
- Professional Development – This award celebrates organizations who focus on developing their employee’s careers and enable them to grow professionally.
“Being recognized for appreciation, employee well-being, and professional development is especially meaningful because it reflects the progress we’ve made together as an organization in achieving our mission to create environments that foster long-term health and wellness.” said Luis B. Pérez, President & CEO of Mental Health Connecticut. “At Mental Health Connecticut, we know that the well-being of our employees is important and leads to better outcomes for the communities we serve.”
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
This recognition underscores MHC’s ongoing efforts to cultivate a culture where staff feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow, directly aligning with its mission of improving mental health and well-being across Connecticut.
