This is more than just an award to us. It’s a reflection of the intentional culture we’ve been stitching together since day one. At Thread, we don’t just measure success by performance; we measure it by how well our people thrive. Because we know that when employees are supported, growing, and having fun, our clients feel it too. Our [Core Values](https://threadhcm.com/our-culture/) are the fabric of everything we do: - Gratitude, every single day. - A drive to make things better. - Growth, personally and professionally. - Flexibility and grace with each other. - And yes, plenty of fun woven in. > As our founder and CEO, Lori Winters, says: *“A thriving culture doesn’t just make employees happier, it makes businesses stronger. This award is a proud moment, but it’s also a reminder that culture is a daily choice, not a one-time achievement.”* We couldn’t agree more. This recognition isn’t the result of a PR move; it’s the result of every [team member](https://threadhcm.com/team/) at Thread living out our values, day in and day out. And here’s why this matters for you: when you partner with Thread, you’re not just choosing payroll and HR support. You’re choosing a team that genuinely loves what they do, cares deeply about [making life easier for clients,](https://threadhcm.com/measuring-your-happiness/) and shows up every day to deliver wow. We’re proud of this honor, but even prouder of the people behind it. And we can’t wait to keep weaving this culture into every client and partner experience we have. Thanks for being part of our story 🩵 - you’re an important Thread in the fabric of our success. 🧵 ### Not yet partnering with Thread?
