Empower Brands Receives Employee-Driven Recognition

Empower Brands, a franchisor of home and commercial services brands, announced it has been named an Energage 2026 Top Workplace in Atlanta, recognizing the company for building a people-first culture where employees feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed.

The Top Workplaces program recognizes organizations based entirely on feedback captured through an employee engagement survey administered by Energage, a purpose-driven organization that develops solutions to build and brand Top Workplaces. The program has a 19-year history of surveying and celebrating people-first organizations nationally and across 60 regional markets.

Empower Brands employees working out of the company's Atlanta office participated in the survey, providing direct feedback on the company’s culture, leadership, and overall workplace experience. The recognition reflects the experiences of the people who work within the organization every day and reinforces Empower Brands’ continued investment in building a workplace centered on collaboration, growth, and appreciation.

“This recognition means a great deal to us because it reflects what our employees experience and say about our culture,” says Scott Zide, CEO of Empower Brands. “We believe the strength of our organization starts with our people. When employees feel valued, supported, and connected to the work we’re doing together, that carries through to how we serve our franchise owners and ultimately the communities they serve. Being recognized as a Top Workplace in Atlanta is a reflection of the people who bring that culture to life every day.”

Empower Brands supports a portfolio of industry-leading service concepts, including JAN-PRO, FRSTeam, Archadeck Outdoor Living, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Conserva Irrigation, Superior Fence & Rail, Wallaby Windows, Koala Insulation, Bumble Roofing, and Canopy Lawn Care. Its franchisee-first culture connects employees across the organization around a shared mission of championing the success of franchise owners.

The Atlanta recognition adds to a growing list of Top Workplaces honors for Empower Brands. The company has previously received recognition in areas including Employee Appreciation, Work-Life Flexibility, Leadership, Compensation & Benefits, Purpose & Values, Innovation, Employee Well-Being, and Professional Development. Together, the awards reflect the company’s broader commitment to creating an environment where employees can contribute, develop, and build meaningful careers.

That commitment extends beyond the workplace itself. Empower Brands brings employees together through companywide initiatives such as its annual Ignite conference, involvement with ASK, an annual day of service, monthly employee appreciation activities, team member birthday celebrations, and quarterly recognition of employees who exemplify the company’s core values.

As Empower Brands continues to grow its portfolio and support franchise owners across the country, the company remains focused on strengthening the culture behind that growth and creating an environment where its people can do their best work.
