First American Equipment Finance announced it was honored as No. 29 on the 2022 Top Workplaces USA list (150-499 full-time equivalent), issued by Energage. Energage is a purpose-driven organization that develops solutions to build and brand Top Workplaces. This is the second year for the Top Workplaces USA award, built on the program’s 15-year history surveying more than 23 million employees across more than 70,000 organizations for the regional Top Workplaces awards.

Top Workplaces USA offers national recognition for organizations of more than 150 FTE, and those that may have operations in multiple markets. Several thousand organizations from across the country were invited, and more than 1,100 participated in the Top Workplaces USA survey. Winners of the Top Workplaces USA list are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey. Results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including 15 Culture Drivers that are proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks.

“As we head toward the second anniversary of the pandemic, I am reminded of the amazing colleagues I get to work with each day,” said Alan Sikora, CEO of First American. “They continue to cultivate an award-winning workplace whether we are in the office, remote or hybrid, and I am incredibly proud of them for earning this recognition. My colleagues are a genuine, resilient and passionate group of professionals. Congratulations, team.”

Over the past five years, First American’s new business volume has grown substantially, from $606 million in 2016 to $1.38 billion in 2021. During this time, the company created 90 new positions at its Rochester, NY, headquarters. First American’s vision is to become the Best Company to Work For and the Best Company to Work With.
