FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STAMFORD, CT – August 7, 2023 – Inspira Marketing Group, a purpose-driven brand
activation agency headquartered in Norwalk, CT, announced today the accomplishment of
recognition as a Best Companies Group Inclusive Workplace. Best Companies Group, in
collaboration with COLOR Magazine, announced last week the recognition of businesses that
have demonstrated exemplary commitment to fostering inclusivity and a sense of belonging in
their work environments through the Inclusive Workplace Program. This acknowledgment is not
a ranking or competition, but rather a celebration of organizations that surpass data-driven
benchmarks to promote inclusivity.
Chief Inspiration Officer Jeff Snyder expressed his gratitude, stating, "Inspira is immensely
honored to receive this esteemed recognition as a Best Companies Group Inclusive Workplace.
At Inspira, we uphold our DEI Promise and believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are crucial to
a workplace where people of all backgrounds can flourish and feel inspired. We are committed to
fostering a culture where everyone is valued and included and can contribute from their full
potential, including their differences, experiences, knowledge, and unique capabilities and
talents, while maintaining respect for the dignity and safety of others. This accolade reflects the
collective efforts of our passionate team and reaffirms our commitment to creating a workplace
that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth for all."
Initiated last fall, the program assesses participating companies through comprehensive surveys
and data analysis. Areas of evaluation include inclusion, belonging, psychological safety,
community, and purpose. "This program highlights the real strides companies are making in
cultivating inclusive cultures that help all employees feel valued and engaged," said Jaime Raul
Zepeda, Executive Vice President of Best Companies Group.
Recipients of this recognition have shown significant commitment to ensuring all of their
employees feel included, heard, and valued. Their commitment to inclusive work environments
has had meaningful impacts on employee engagement, retention rates, and brand recognition.
The companies recognized this year serve as beacons of inclusive culture within their respective
industries, demonstrating the immense benefits of prioritizing belonging and inclusivity in the
workplace.
Best Companies Group extends its heartfelt congratulations to these businesses for their
successful efforts in cultivating diverse and inclusive work environments. The dedication and
effort of these organizations to foster inclusivity is commendable and sets a new standard for
companies worldwide.
"These companies serve as an inspiring example of what it truly means to create a workplace
where everyone feels like they belong and can bring their full selves to work. Their commitment
and their actions are paving the way for a better and more inclusive future," Zepeda added.
We eagerly anticipate the continuing progress and success of these organizations as they
continue to promote inclusivity and belonging within their workplaces.
