Millersville, MD — J29 Inc. is proud to announce that we have been named a Top Workplaces 2026 honoree by WTOP News, a recognition based entirely on feedback from our employees. The award reflects results from a confidential, third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC, which measures key aspects of the employee experience.
The survey evaluates important cultural drivers such as employees feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute-all areas that are central to how we operate at J29.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “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.”
A Recognition Rooted in People
This milestone is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices and experiences of our team. At J29, we believe that our people are our purpose, and we are committed to building a workplace where individuals feel valued, heard, and inspired every day.
J29’s team of leaders, people managers, and individual contributors share in the honor of this recognition, which underscores the intentional culture we continue to cultivate.
“We are incredibly proud of this recognition because it’s a direct reflection of our employees’ experiences and voices,” said Sarah Tonelli, Director of People Operations. “At J29, we are deeply committed to creating an environment where every individual feels supported, empowered, and connected to meaningful work. This award reinforces that our people-first approach is making a real impact.”
