Crafty Debuts on the Top Workplaces List

CHICAGO, IL — November 8, 2023 —The Chicago Tribune revealed today that Crafty, the centralized platform providing food and beverage solutions for global offices and remote workers, has been named number 104 on the list of Top Workplaces in Chicago.  

“Investing in their people, whether that involves helping them step into strategically valuable new roles or simply ensuring that they have access to top-notch benefit packages and ongoing support, is something that many of this year’s Top Workplaces have in common,” according to the Tribune.

Crafty was named among small companies with 35 or more local employees. The list includes a total of # small, medium, and large companies selected based on employee survey results administered in July of this year. Crafty employs 195 employees across the US, and this is the first time the organization has been named to the Chicago Tribune’s “Top Workplaces” list.

“We are honored to be recognized by both Top Workplaces and the Chicago Tribune,” says Co-founder and CEO, Nate Rosenstock. “This is a testament to all the hard work from our team to not only craft better workplaces for our clients but to ensure that we live and breathe this for ourselves and our teammates as well. The culture of Crafty is created by our people, and we couldn't be more proud of the individuals who make Crafty what it is today.”

The Chicago Top Workplaces list is based on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Energage, a workplace survey and improvement specialist, in partnership with the Chicago Tribune. The anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture that are critical to the success of any organization, including connection, execution, and leadership.

“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.”
