GLEN MILLS, Pa., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden Waffles today announced it has earned Great Place To Work® Certification™ for the second consecutive year. This year, 83% of Golden Waffles associates said the company is a great place to work, up from 82% last year, compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.
"Earning this certification for a second year in a row is especially meaningful to us because it comes directly from our people," said Mike DiBeneditto, CEO of Golden Waffles. "Our associates are the ones running routes, working in our warehouses and manufacturing operations and serving our customers every day. This recognition belongs to them. We're proud of the progress we've made, and we're listening closely to where our people say we can improve."
The Great Place To Work® Certification™ is the only recognition of its kind based entirely on real-time employee feedback about workplace culture. Research from Great Place To Work® shows employees at Certified™ workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work and are twice as likely to be paid fairly and have a fair chance at promotion, compared to employees at a typical workplace.
"Great Place To Work® Certification™ is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work®. "By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Golden Waffles stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."
Golden Waffles is using this year's associate feedback to identify additional opportunities to strengthen the employee experience across the organization.
