Detroit Free Press Names Downtown Detroit Partnership A Winner In The Michigan Top Workplaces 2025 Awards
- Employee evaluations determine the winners.
- Companies with 50 or more employees are eligible.
- The program is in its 18th year.
DETROIT – The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2025 honor by Michigan Top Workplaces. This list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage LLC, an employee engagement technology partner, which partnered for the 18th year with the Detroit Free Press to determine winners in Michigan. 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.
“The fact that this recognition is a direct result of what our employees say makes it especially rewarding and gratifying,” said DDP Chief Administrative Officer Lila Asante-Appiah, MA, CPC. “We work hard to create an environment that is inclusive, and where employees feel safe to speak up, innovate, learn, and grow personally and professionally.”
The DDP’s 50-member team works to execute the organization’s mission to cultivate social and economic impact in Downtown Detroit. Through strategic placemaking, mobility and infrastructure initiatives, economic development activities, small-business support, event planning, and more, the DDP is creating a vibrant, thriving urban core that is welcoming, clean, and safe for Downtown businesses, residents, and visitors.
“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 employees have a voice and are heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
