Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, December 10, 2021 - IPS-Integrated Project Services, LLC, a leading provider of engineering, procurement, construction management, and validation (EPCMV) services, announces the fifth year in a row of its Irvine, California, office being awarded a Top Workplace honor by The Orange County Register.

“It’s been the first full year working in a pandemic environment and it’s a very positive sign that our employees are (still!) voting IPS as a Top Workplace,” states Keith Higgins, Sr. Director, Regional Operations Manager. “This pandemic has reshaped the way we go about our business and IPS is adapting and evolving to meet these challenges and emerging stronger than ever!”

The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

"During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business."

“For the 5^th year in a row IPS Irvine has been voted a top workplace and this is a testament to our culture and ability to adapt to our environment,” said Patrick Bucklen, Vice President of West Coast Operations. “IPS through the pandemic has successfully integrated a full work from home policy with the intent of protecting our employees from exposures. We were able to take a challenging new work environment and still perform at our best while making sure our employees know how valuable they are to our company. Putting our employees first is always our primary objective.“
