Lincoln, NE - June 28 , 2026 - The annual award presented by Inspiring Workplaces Group in association with Engagedly recognizes the Top 100 organizations that are leading with PeopleFirst cultures built on trust, purpose and belonging. Hudl's placement in the Top 25 was determined by independent judges who evaluated submissions across six pillars: Culture & Purpose, Leadership, Wellbeing, Inclusion & Belonging, Employee Voice and Employee Experience.
"High performance at Hudl starts with people feeling genuinely supported," said Jasmine Kingsley, chief people and legal officer at Hudl. "This recognition from Inspiring Workplaces is a reflection of the culture our team builds every day, from our ERGs that support employee voices to the leaders who create space for everyone to thrive."
Judges highlighted Hudl's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) as a meaningful example of employee voice in action, and noted the company's work to build a culture of psychological safety across its global workforce.
Since 2015, Inspiring Workplaces has been honoring organizations that go beyond policies and programs to create environments where people feel valued, included and empowered to thrive. These are workplaces where culture is not just an initiative but a strategic driver of performance, resilience and long-term success.
Matt Manners, Founder, Inspiring Workplaces Group, commented: “Workplaces are changing at an unprecedented pace, with AI accelerating transformation across every industry. In times of constant change, organizations need more than strategy and technology alone. They need cultures that help people adapt, grow and perform."
