DETROIT, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpine IQ (AIQ), the leading customer engagement and retail marketing platform for regulated industries, is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for 2026 for the third year in a row. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at AIQ. According to the 2026 survey results, a significant majority of employees say Alpine IQ is a great place to work, outperforming the average U.S. company benchmark.
Great Place To Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to drive revenue growth, employee retention, and innovation.
“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Alpine IQ stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
“Great Place to Work Certification is earned through a confidential, employee-led survey where our team directly evaluates their experience,” says Eleanor Lynch, COO of Alpine IQ. “We are proud to have earned that trust three years in a row. This recognition is especially meaningful because it is not pay-to-play. It reflects how our people truly feel about working here. We are intentional about building an environment where teams can focus, deliver meaningful work, and see that work rewarded with real growth and opportunity.”
Culture built on empowerment, curiosity, and ownership
