For the third year in a row, Kissimmee Utility Authority received a Top Workplaces award by the Orlando Sentinel’s 2025 Top Workplaces program. KUA joined the area’s top 130 dynamic companies, which made the list based on achieving high employee satisfaction and being committed to making their company a great place to work. KUA was one of the top ten employers in the midsize employer category. The list was published in the Sunday edition of the Orlando Sentinel. To view the list online, click here.
In addition, KUA received a special award for Training, one of just a handful of special recognitions given this year, highlighting the utility’s strong commitment to developing and supporting its employees.
The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC.
“It’s an honor to be recognized for the third year in a row, and even more meaningful that this recognition comes directly from our employees,” said KUA President and General Manager Brian Horton. “Our team is the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to investing in their growth and fostering a workplace where they can thrive.”
The confidential survey uniquely measured 24 factors that are critical to the success of any organization, including engagement, leadership, appreciation, respect, and support. KUA staff members were officially recognized during an awards luncheon Friday, Sept. 19, in Orlando.
“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.”
