Lutheran Hour Ministries was honored to be named in the Top Workplaces 2024 awards as published this summer by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. LHM ranks number 40 on this year's list of top small companies in St. Louis (under 149 employees in the St. Louis area). This is the third time LHM has been recognized as a Top Workplace, having previously achieved recognition in 2012 and 2013.
As the nation's leading employer recognition program, Top Workplaces awards celebrate organizations for their people-first commitment to workplace excellence. Results are based on Energage's confidential, research-backed employee engagement survey. Participating companies are evaluated against the industry's most robust benchmarks, drawn from more than 18 years of culture research. The survey measures culture drivers such as alignment, execution, and connection.
The Top Workplaces program recognizes the very best organizations by partnering with the nation's most prestigious media outlets to bring Top Workplaces to 60 markets across the United States. Eligible organizations can be public, private, nonprofit, educational, or governmental.
