The City of Centennial has been named a 2026 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award winner for employee engagement, marking the ninth consecutive year the City has earned this prestigious recognition. As Centennial celebrates its 25-Year Anniversary in 2026, the award underscores a legacy of building a high-performing organization grounded in service, collaboration and employee wellbeing.

Winners embed engagement throughout the employee lifecycle, from recruitment to development to transition, creating cultures where employees feel valued, heard and empowered to do meaningful work.

This award is based on extensive employee feedback and rigorous performance benchmarks. Centennial once again exceeded Gallup's high standards, reflecting a workplace culture rooted in trust, accountability and shared purpose.

"Earning this recognition for the ninth consecutive year, as we celebrate 25 years as a City, is especially meaningful," said City Manager Matt Sturgeon. "From our founding, Centennial has been built on the belief that local government works best when people feel connected to purpose and empowered to serve. This award reflects the dedication of our employees, who bring innovation, accountability and heart to their work every day. As we look ahead to the next 25 years, we remain committed to cultivating a workplace where our people thrive, because when our employees thrive, our community thrives."

In today's evolving workplace, Centennial continues to set the standard for fostering a resilient, strengths-based culture focused on continuous improvement and service excellence. Centennial remains one of the few governmental entities nationwide to receive this distinction multiple times, reinforcing its reputation as an employer of choice and a forward-thinking municipal organization.
