HUDSON, Ohio—June 19, 2017—AKHIA, a full-service communications agency in Hudson, has been named one of the Plain Dealer’s Top Workplaces in Northeast Ohio for the fourth time.

The Top Workplaces list is based entirely on results of an employee feedback survey administered by Workplace Dynamics, LLC, a research firm specializing in organizational health and workplace improvement. It comes on the heels of AKHIA’s receipt of a 2017 Smart Culture Award in April, recognizing the critical role that a strong culture has played in the organization’s success.

The two awards are not a coincidence, according to AKHIA President Ben Brugler, who notes that AKHIA’s strong culture is a fundamental part of what makes the agency a Top Workplace.

“Our culture drives our success. We rely on it to keep us grounded, to keep us challenged and to remind us that we are there for each other,” Brugler said. “These attributes allow us to focus on the best results for our clients instead of worrying about any drama or interoffice conflicts. Our culture course corrects that for us and is what makes AKHIA a unique place to work."

The Top Workplaces honor comes as AKHIA continues to grow and evolve to better serve client needs. The agency has enjoyed 12 percent average growth over the last five years, earning recognition in the Weatherhead 100 list of the fastest-growing companies for the past three years.
