Wayne, Pennsylvania-based independent distributor organization AD has been honored as a “Top Workplace” in the Delaware Valley for the fourth year in a row.

“I continue to be amazed at our associates and their commitment to our mission and the 34 fundamentals that make up The AD Way,” AD Chairman and CEO Bill Weisberg said. “In recent years, this recognition has been very important to me because it shows that even as the AD community grows, we remain aligned with the foundational values that got us here. I want to thank our executive committee, leadership team, HR team, managers, associates, and Great Place to Work Committee for their continued hard work and dedication.”

The award is based on an anonymous employee engagement survey administered by technology partner Energage, LLC, which measures “15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of an organization, including alignment, execution and connection,” AD said.

The program recognizes companies that “outperform in a crowded market, lead a people-first culture, and excel at attracting top-tier job seekers and new business.”

“Engagement was a challenge for many companies in 2021 due to feelings of stress and burnout, which makes this recognition especially meaningful,” AD Senior Vice President Neil Cohen said. “AD values and incorporates our associates’ feedback, and I want to extend a big thanks to our associates for everything they do to make AD a great place to work and for their dedication to serving our customers. We always look forward to reviewing the survey feedback so that we can celebrate areas where associates feel that we excel as well as identify opportunities to make continued improvements to our workplace.”
