EnsembleIQ Recognized for Outstanding Leadership
Progressive Grocer’s parent company EnsembleIQ, North America’s source of insightful information and actionable connections in retail, healthcare and hospitality, was honored by workplace evaluation firm Comparably in its “Best Leadership Teams” category for driving positive culture change.
This honor is based on ratings voluntarily and anonymously submitted to Comparably by EnsembleIQ employees about the performance of the company leadership team. Those rated included direct managers and senior leaders, who all received “A” level grades during the past 12 months.
“The leadership team is approachable and open to new suggestions and ideas. They make themselves available to the team at-large and encourage/motivate us to perform our best,” posted one employee. Another stated, “Communication is excellent! I am asked to participate in any meeting or event that can help my growth and knowledge of the company.”
EnsembleIQ CEO Jennifer Litterick said, “This evaluation clearly illustrates that our team members value how company leaders have created a positive culture that encourages, supports and celebrates the diversity of our employees. Prioritizing positive culture change has strengthened the core of our organization. Our leaders are providing a supportive, flexible and development-driven environment for employees to innovate and drive growth by delivering actionable business intelligence and connections to retail, healthcare and hospitality business professionals and solution providers.”
Culture is an essential component of EnsembleIQ attracting top-tier talent.

“Company culture is driven by the organization’s leadership team,” said Jason Nazar, CEO at Santa Monica, Calif.-based Comparably. “Sentiments expressed by EnsembleIQ employees clearly illustrate they greatly appreciate the outstanding leadership that has driven positive change to provide a culture in which they thrive.”
