Everi Holdings Inc, a premier provider of land-based and digital casino gaming content and products, financial technology, and player loyalty solutions, announced that the Company was recognized by the Austin American-Statesman with a “Greater Austin Top Workplaces 2022” award.

This is the second consecutive year Everi earned this designation from the Austin American-Statesman, and it marks a total of 15 Top Workplaces honors awarded to the Company over the past two years. In addition to this recognition, the Company was recently named to the Nevada Top Workplaces list for the second consecutive year. In 2022, Everi’s India offices also received a second annual certification as a Great Place to Work from the Great Place to Work Institute in India, which is based on positive employee feedback gathered through an independent employee engagement survey.

“We are honored to be recognized again for our success in creating a positive company culture that is valued by our team members across multiple locations in the greater Austin area as well as our talented team of remote employees in Central Texas. This award is based solely on direct feedback from our team members, who continue to collectively foster a strong, cohesive culture that makes Everi an exceptional place to work,” Randy Taylor, President and CEO of Everi, said.

Issued by Energage, the research company with more than 16 years of experience surveying over 27 million employees at 70,000 organizations, Top Workplaces awards are based solely on employee feedback gathered through their annual independent survey. Their anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization, including alignment, execution, and connection, among others.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees. 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,” Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage, said.
