Irving, TX - October 12, 2016

5, a national energy advisory firm, was named as one of the country’s best small and medium workplaces by Fortune magazine and the consulting firm Great Place to Work®.

5 won this accolade based on employees' anonymous responses to an extensive survey about their levels of trust, pride and camaraderie at work. Great Place to Work® reviewed the survey results of more than 52,000 employees from hundreds of companies in the ranking process.


“Our mission is pretty simple, to help people, and this award further recognizes the effort we make internally to serve one another and truly redefine the employee experience,” remarked 5’s Chief Culture Officer, Jeff Schiefelbein.

5 came in 30th on the list.

“There’s a generosity of spirit that infuses the Best Small and Medium workplaces—one that has a measurable return,” said Kim Peters, Executive Vice President of Great Place to Work. “Whether it’s funding employee ‘passion projects’ or giving surprise gifts to customers, the best workplaces give it away. And they get it back in the form of inspired people who innovate harder and generate higher revenue.”
