Triangle Business Journal 2026 Best Places to Work
JULY 7th, 2026: WingSwept has been officially recognized as one of the Triangle Business Journal’s 2026 Best Places to Work. This coveted annual list honors an exclusive group of companies in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Apex, Cary, Fayetteville, and Greensboro region that are leading the way in creating dynamic corporate cultures, highly competitive benefits packages, and an environment where employees feel genuinely valued.
The Benchmark for Workplace Excellence in the Tech Corridor
Standing out in the Triangle’s booming economy requires a profound commitment to the human side of business. The Triangle Business Journal’s Best Places to Work program utilizes a strict evaluation framework managed alongside independent research partners. Rather than measuring companies by revenue or size alone, the program acts as a litmus test for overall organizational health, grading employers on leadership transparency, department collaboration, workplace flexibility, and career advancement paths.
A Dozen Years of Cultural Excellence
Fostering a great workplace culture for a single year is an achievement; sustaining it for over a decade amidst rapid economic and industrial shifts is a masterclass in leadership. By securing a spot on the list for the 12th year in a row, WingSwept has proven that its people-first philosophy is deeply woven into the fabric of the organization. This rare streak highlights a twelve-year legacy of prioritizing human capital, progressive benefits, and genuine employee satisfaction through every stage of company growth.
“Hitting this milestone for the 12th year in a row is an amazing achievement for us,” said April Strickland, VP of Human Resources at WingSwept. “A great workplace culture isn’t something you can just mandate on paper, it’s something our team builds every single day by looking out for each other and showing up with a great attitude. I’m incredibly proud of our employees who make WingSwept such a special, welcoming place to come to work, and this award is entirely theirs.”
Celebrating Innovation and Growth Across the Region
The Triangle Business Journal 2026 Best Places to Work list highlights a diverse range of local industry leaders, spanning the Triangle’s prominent life sciences, technology, professional services, and construction sectors. The finalized rankings and interactive profiles showcasing what makes each organization unique will be featured in a highly anticipated special summer edition of the Triangle Business Journal.
The 2026 Best Places to Work awards are administered by the Triangle Business Journal using quantitative employee engagement metrics. Nominated organizations are evaluated through a two-part process analyzing internal workplace demographics, corporate benefits, and the results of a secure, confidential employee survey gauging overall satisfaction, managerial efficacy, and cultural alignment.
