Central MA Company Named Among Best Places To Work In 2026, New List Says

WORCESTER, MA — A Worcester-based nonprofit has been named among more than 1,600 organizations recognized in the 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces list.

Open Sky Community Services earned the honor as part of the sixth annual national Top Workplaces program, a collaboration between Energage and USA TODAY that highlights employers with strong employee feedback and workplace culture.

The 2026 survey evaluated 2,375 organizations nationwide throughout 2025 and recognized 1,661 companies based on standout employee responses covering areas such as pay and benefits, leadership, direction, meaningfulness of work, and appreciation.

Open Sky was listed in the 1,000 to 2,499 employee category under the Human & Social Services sector. This marks the first time the Worcester nonprofit has appeared on the national Top Workplaces list.

The nonprofit shared the news on social media, writing, "We’re incredibly grateful to our employees for bringing their best selves to work every day and creating a culture rooted in purpose, growth, inclusion, and appreciation."

Winners are divided into four size categories: 2,500+ employees, 1,000 to 2,499 employees, 500 to 999 employees and fewer than 499 employees. Within each category, Energage ranks the top 100 employers, with remaining honorees listed alphabetically.
