Franchise Companies Recognized for Outstanding Company Culture and Employee Engagement
September 20, 2021 – Portsmouth, NH – Franchise Business Review has announced the winners of the 2021 Franchising@WORK awards.
Franchise Business Review (FBR), a research firm that specializes in benchmarking satisfaction within the franchising sector, conducts surveys of corporate franchise employees, franchise supplier employees, and franchise owners’ employees across North America each year to determine their levels of engagement.
FBR recently conducted an industry-wide Franchising@WORK Employee Engagement & Compensation Benchmarking Study to provide aggregate data to help franchise companies understand how their culture, compensation, and engagement compares to others.
Participants were asked 24 core benchmark questions related to job satisfaction, engagement, management, brand leadership, and culture, as well as detailed personal questions about their position, compensation, benefits, and demographics.

“Recruiting and retaining employees was challenging pre-pandemic. Now, it’s nearly impossible for some organizations, as work/life balance, job flexibility, remote work, and higher wages have become top priorities,” says Eric Stites, founder and CEO of Franchise Business Review. “Franchise companies that were focused on building a strong culture prior to the pandemic have fared far better in maintaining high levels of employee engagement, which ultimately translates directly to more engaged franchisees and more loyal, satisfied customers. We are proud to recognize the companies that have dedicated the time and consistency to creating a culture that really moves the needle.”
