Ascension, the leader in Catholic faith formation, named one of the best companies to work for in America

[Exton, PA, November 18, 2021—]

Catholic publisher earns 2021 Great Place to Work Certification™.

Ascension, the leader in faith formation, is proud to be newly Certified™ by Great Place to Work®.

The prestigious certification is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Ascension. 93% of employees said it’s “a great place to work”—34 percentage points higher than the average US company.

“Our employees start work each day inspired by our mission to share the truth and beauty of the Catholic Faith with a growing number of people in America who are searching for a deeper relationship with God,” comments Jonathan Strate, Ascension’s president and CEO. “This recognition by The Great Place to Work Institute is a tremendous affirmation of the thriving culture that all of us at Ascension have built together.”

Employee participation in the Great Place to Work® survey was voluntary, and responses were confidential. Ascension’s highest scores were related to leadership and camaraderie. For example, employees said, “Management is honest and ethical in its business practices” (98%), “people here are given a lot of responsibility” (98%), “people care about each other here” (97%), and “management recognizes honest mistakes as part of doing business” (97%).

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation.

“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily—it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” explains Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Ascension is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

According to Great Place to Work’s own research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified™ great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified™ workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits, and have a fair chance at promotion.
