For the eighth year in a row, Taft Atlanta is ranked as one of Atlanta’s Top Workplaces by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper.

Every year, the AJC and employment research and consulting firm Energage surveys people who work at companies from the 17-county Metro Atlanta area. The questions cover aspects of workplace culture including:

• Alignment – strong company values, direction and cooperation
• Coaching – support and mentoring
• Connection – meaningfulness, appreciation and reaching full potential
• Engagement – productivity/motivation, retention and recruiting
• Performance – innovation, open-mindedness and clued-in leaders
• Leadership – confidence in company leaders
• Basics – work/life balance, expectations, pay, benefits and training

The highest-scoring companies are recognized in three categories based on their size. Taft Atlanta made the top 50 (#43) of the medium-sized companies – one of only three law firms in the category to rank so highly.

“Our company culture is extremely important to us,” said Simon Malko. “We have worked hard to maintain and support our culture throughout the pandemic. It is gratifying to see that our incredible employees responded to our efforts and continued to recognize our firm as a top workplace. We’re also very proud of the things that surveys can’t measure, including our endeavors to give back to the community, which is a key part of our firm.”
