Wheeler has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2026 honor by Hartford Courant, the tenth time the organization has been recognized with the award.
This list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow, and Empowered to Execute, to name a few.
In addition to the general recognition, compared to national and local benchmarks, Wheeler employee survey results also earned Wheeler special Top Workplace recognition in the categories of:
- National Healthcare Industry
- Employee Appreciation
- Employee Well-Being
- Leadership
- Professional Development
- Purpose and Values, and
- Work-Life Flexibility
“We are humbled to receive this honor again in 2026, and especially heartened to see that our employees tell us in the survey that they feel appreciated, can grow at Wheeler, and that they know why they come to work every day...to provide quality services to everyone we serve,” said Sabrina Trocchi, PhD, MPA, Wheeler's president and chief executive officer.
“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.”
