Employee Culture, Engagement, and Core Values Earn High Marks in Independent Survey

[Peosta, IA] — ProPulse is proud to announce it has been recognized as an Iowa Top Workplace for the third consecutive year, affirming its commitment to cultivating a positive, inclusive, and high-performing workplace.
This honor comes through the Top Workplaces program, run by Energage in partnership with media and regional outlets, which bases its awards entirely on anonymous employee feedback. There is no cost to participate or win, and organizations are evaluated using a scientific survey methodology that benchmarks responses against national norms.
“Awards like this are meaningful because they come directly from the people who live our culture every day,” said Jeff Theis, President & CEO of ProPulse. “It’s not about what we say, but how our team feels — and this is a validation that our values, communication, appreciation, and growth mindset are resonating.”

Why This Matters

1. Only employers whose aggregate employee feedback exceeds national benchmarks in areas such as leadership, meaningfulness, compensation, development, and appreciation are recognized.
2. Being named a Top Workplace helps with attracting and retaining top talent, strengthens employer branding, and reinforces internal pride.
3. Because participation and awards are free—and the process is confidential and independent—this is a credibility-enhancing distinction.

A Sweet Celebration
To make this recognition even more fun, ProPulse celebrated with a surprise ice-cream social—complete with managers as guest scoopers—to thank employees for their candor, energy, and collective commitment.

What’s Next
ProPulse is doubling down on its focus areas:

• Open communication & transparency — making sure voices at every level are heard
• Professional development & growth pathways — investing in training, mentorship, education
• Recognition & appreciation — formal and informal, peer-to-peer and leadership-led
• Health, balance & well-being — continuing to evolve wellness and flexibility programs

We are grateful to each member of the ProPulse team. This honor is yours. We also thank our partners, customers, and community stakeholders for believing in our mission and in our people.
