Ascend Named a Colorado Top Workplace for Third Year by The Denver Post

Celebrating Ascend's Triple Crown Culture: Three Years of Workplace Excellence

BOULDER, CO, UNITED STATES, May 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ascend, Inc. has been recognized as a 2025 Colorado Top Workplace, marking its third consecutive year as an award winner for companies under 150 employees. This honor highlights Ascend's sustained success in maintaining a workplace culture of trust, empowerment, and work/life flexibility that empowers team members to provide outstanding service and partnership to clients and the UKG ecosystem.

Inclusion in The Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow, and Empowered to Execute, to name a few.

“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.”

On hearing the news, Ascend’s CEO, Lou Sylaj stated, “We are honored to be recognized as a Top Workplace in Colorado for the third consecutive year. This achievement is a testament to the exceptional people who make up the Ascend team. Our strong culture doesn’t just define who we are, it drives the exceptional results we deliver for our clients and partners.”

Ascend team members cited the collaborative and supportive environment, autonomy in accomplishing work, learning opportunities and feeling that they are contributing to the success of clients and the company. The challenging and rewarding nature of Ascend's work, and its direct impact on customers, were also frequently mentioned in the Energage survey results.

“I always heard about Top Workplaces, but it wasn’t until I joined Ascend that I truly experienced it. From day one, it’s clear — people come first. That culture of support drives success for both our team and our clients,” said Jenny Rosengren, Sr. Manager, Customer Success. “I am proud to see Ascend recognized by The Denver Post as a Top Workplace for three years running, and honored to be part of a company that truly puts its people first.”

Formed from the merger of HRMS Solutions and ATS Consulting in 2024, Ascend continues to be an award-winning HCM services provider offering more value to organizations that use UKG. As a certified partner, Ascend empowers businesses at all points in their UKG journey, from guiding brand-new implementations to system optimization for peak performance.
