Our mission is to empower every team to thrive. Every team. Including ours.

We believe that thriving doesn't happen by accident. A thriving team is one where people are aligned around something bigger than themselves, empowered to take real ownership, growing in ways that matter to them, and valued—not in a generic way, but personally and genuinely.

We build tools to help other organizations create that. And we hold ourselves to the same standard.

That standard is why we're proud to share that Quantum Workplace has been named one of the Top 100 Inspiring Workplaces in North America for 2026—ranking #11 overall and #3 among mid-sized organizations. And we want to tell you exactly what got us there.

We also want to take a moment to congratulate our customers Hudl, MarketStar, and United Federal Credit Union for earning a spot on this year's list too. Seeing the organizations we work with recognized for building inspiring cultures is one of the most meaningful things we get to witness. This one's for you as much as it is for us.

What the judges saw

The Inspiring Workplaces Awards are judged independently. Organizations share evidence that reflects their employee experience. Judges look at leadership accessibility, inclusion, employee voice, recognition, development, and culture in practice.

Here's what the judges said about us:

"Quantum Workplace presents a highly aligned and authentic people strategy that is clearly lived throughout the organization. The connection between purpose, leadership, employee experience, and culture is evident, supported by strong engagement data and a consistent commitment to listening and acting on employee feedback. Particularly impressive are the organisation's leadership accessibility, employee voice practices, onboarding experience, and focus on meaningful development and recognition."

"Quantum Workplace demonstrates a culture built on trust, transparency, and genuine care for employees. Overall, this is a mature, people-first organization with a clear sense of purpose and a strong employee experience that appears deeply embedded in everyday practice."

The values behind #QwirkLife

Around here, our employees go by a different name: Qwirks.

It's not just a nickname. It's a philosophy. Being a Qwirk means showing up as your full, unfiltered self—the kind of person who makes the workplace more alive just by being in it. The kind of person who never takes themselves too seriously, but always takes the work seriously.

Qwirkiness prioritizes the individual. It's the belief that the things that make you you—your quirks, your voice, your perspective—aren't liabilities to be smoothed over. They're assets to be leaned into.

That shows up in how we work together. And it shows up in our products, which are built on the premise that every individual voice matters and deserves to be heard.

Which brings us to our four values that make all of this possible.

• Pursue - As a company, we pursue impact. As individuals, we pursue growth. A spirit of pursuit means we are never fully content with the here and now. We have an inner drive and confidence to push forward, and we show courage in the face of adversity. Pursuit is one part vision, one part hustle, and one part grit.
  
  
• Team Over Self - Every team member comes with different strengths, talents, and perspectives. Admitting vulnerabilities and relying on others takes courage. Asking for help is a sign of strength—providing that help is our commitment. We seek the voice of others, build confidence in our teammates, and recognize that the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts. Together we empower teams to thrive.
  
  
• Revel in Work - We do hard things and put in good work, but we like to experience the joy of working together both in and out of work. Whether it's revelling in solving a difficult problem together or showing up for field day with the whole team, we Revel in Work.
  
  
• Be You - Each one of us is a unique, one-of-a-kind original. What makes us different makes us valuable. Our company is stronger when employees are free to share diverse perspectives and experiences. Our culture is stronger when individuality is not only celebrated and embraced, but expected.

These values come to life through five attributes that guide how we show up every day: curiosity, hustle, flexibility, grit, and care. You can read more about them at quantumworkplace.com/about/culture.

What keeps our Qwirks inspired 

We asked some of our own Qwirks to share what inspires them to work here. Here's what they said:

“Quantum Workplace inspires me to be the best version of myself because I'm surrounded by people who challenge, support, and trust one another to grow. It’s even more rewarding knowing that our products make a real difference by helping organizations create better experiences for their employees.”

Ryan Herdman, Account Executive

“Quantum Workplace inspires me by surrounding me with people who genuinely want to see each other succeed. The dedication my team brings every day motivates me to show up and give my best in return. When you love what you do and the people you do it with, putting in the effort feels natural.”

Marinna Hunt, Customer Support Specialist

"Quantum Workplace inspires me because we're focused on helping each and everyone do their best work, and lead by example! Working across teams & disciplines to solve complex problems pushes me to continuously adapt, communicate, and be a better teammate."

Carter Brehm, Software Developer

“QW gives me the autonomy to be myself and work how I work best, while continually encouraging me to grow and reach higher. I always feel supported when I'm taking on something challenging, knowing that I have the freedom to occasionally stumble while in pursuit of growth, and am constantly motivated by those around me to never stop evolving and learning. Being surrounded by so many brilliant, inspiring people is just one thing that makes being a Qwirk amazing!”

Carrie Hughes, Customer Implementation Manager

“Quantum Workplace inspires me to be the best version of myself because of the people. There's a genuine culture of support where teammates consistently go the extra mile for one another, and everyone takes pride in building a product that makes a real impact for our customers. What stands out most is that employees truly have a voice. Leadership listens to ideas, values feedback, and turns great suggestions into action, creating an environment where people feel empowered to grow and contribute.”

Abel Avila, Software Developer

"For me, it’s the people who make up QW. Everyone is incredibly supportive, there’s a strong sense of trust and autonomy, and I’m constantly learning from peers who challenge me to improve. Having that kind of environment along with a healthy work-life balance makes it easy to bring my best every day."

Sivakumar Kailasam, Principal Engineer

A culture where everyone belongs 

Behind this recognition is a group of Qwirks who show up every month to make sure this company is one where everyone truly belongs.

Our Diversity Council exists to ensure that every person on this team can Be You—fully and without hesitation. Made up of 5–7 Qwirks alongside our VP of People and CEO, the council advises leadership, drives real initiatives, and brings the whole company along on the journey. They focus on four things: talent, community, awareness, and voice.

We're proud of the culture we've built. We're also honest that belonging is never finished work. It takes attention, accountability, and care—every single year.

We practice what we build
