Bay Area Top Workplaces

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Jun. 9, 2025 – ForeFront Power has been recognized for its exemplary company culture through its inclusion on two influential lists: 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Bay Area Top Workplaces, and Fortune Best Workplaces in the Bay Area™. Determined by employee feedback, these listings signify that ForeFront Power has cultivated a strong culture among its staff that surpasses rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best workplaces in the San Francisco Bay region.  

“Our people are our greatest strength at ForeFront Power, which makes this recognition especially meaningful because it comes directly from our team,” said Ruben R. Fontes, CEO of ForeFront Power. “Being included on these esteemed lists affirms that our commitment to our people is as strong as our commitment to our customers and communities.”  

Top Workplaces is the nation’s leading employer recognition program based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, connection, and more. 

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.” 

To determine the Fortune Best Workplaces in the Bay Area™ List, Great Place To Work collected nearly 85,000 confidential survey responses from employees at eligible companies via its proprietary platform. Companies were ranked based on their ability to offer consistently positive experiences, building trust with leaders, colleagues, and the overall organization.  

To be eligible for the list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™, have at least 10 U.S. employees, and be headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

“Congratulations to the Fortune Best Workplaces in the Bay Area,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO at Great Place To Work. “These companies prove that prioritizing people leads to better performance, and that leaders who invest in their people are rewarded with more sustainable and profitable businesses.”
