Alimentation Couche-Tard (ACT) was awarded the 2025 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA), which “recognizes the world’s most engaged workplace cultures.” This is the fourth consecutive year Couche-Tard has been named a GEWA winner, ACT said in a press release.

Gallup found that Couche-Tard “continued to engage and develop its people in innovative ways, setting new benchmarks for workplace excellence.”

“At Couche-Tard, we know that an engaged workforce is the foundation of our success. When team members feel empowered, valued and supported in their growth, they're passionate about winning our customers,” said Ina Strand, chief people officer. “Our myVOICE employee engagement survey conducted in partnership with Gallup continues to be an invaluable tool in ensuring we listen to our colleagues, act on the insights we gain every year through this process and continue striving for improvement. We are honored to be recognized once again with a fourth straight Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award.”

Gallup's analysis of team engagement and performance contains data on more than 3.3 million employees in 347 organizations across 53 industries and 90 countries.

Maryland-based retailer Wills Group and its Dash In banner were recently Great Place to Work certified for the fourth consecutive year. The certification is “based entirely on feedback from employees and team members.”

“At a time when workplace culture matters more than ever, our team highlights what makes their experience stand out: trust in leadership, opportunities to grow and a sense of purpose beyond the job description,” said the retailer.
