Wayne Brothers Ranked #3 Nationally for Frontline Workers

A National Recognition Based on Employee Voice

Wayne Brothers has been ranked #3 nationally among organizations with 500+ employees in the 2026 Top Workplaces for Frontline Workers Award. This distinction recognizes companies across North America that create meaningful, supportive experiences for employees closest to the work.

What makes this award especially significant is how it is determined. Rankings are based entirely on confidential feedback from frontline employees through Energage’s Workplace Survey. The results reflect how employees themselves rate their workplace experience, including leadership support, communication, alignment, and overall culture. No outside judges or marketing submissions are influencing the outcome. Recognition is earned through the honest voices of our workforce.

For Wayne Brothers, that makes the #3 ranking particularly meaningful, as it reflects what our teams experience every day on job sites, in shops, and across operations.

A Culture Built Around Frontline Performance

Frontline teams are where safety, quality, and schedule performance intersect. They are the professionals executing complex civil, concrete, geostructural, and industrial scopes across the Southeast, often in high-demand environments that require precision, coordination, and trust.

Wayne Brothers believes a strong culture is built through practical support. That includes investing in field leadership development, strengthening safety systems, improving communication processes, and equipping teams with the tools they need to perform at a high level. It also means listening, creating space for feedback, and acting on it.

Being ranked #3 nationally signals that frontline employees feel supported, respected, and aligned with leadership. That alignment is important to delivering consistent results for clients and partners.

An Award That Belongs to the Team

This distinction belongs to the people who make Wayne Brothers successful. From craft professionals and field supervisors to frontline support staff, their commitment to safety, professionalism, and teamwork defines the company’s performance.

CEO, Keith Wayne, notes that “I got my start in the field as a laborer before co-founding Wayne Brothers, so I have a deep respect for the trades. Many of our owners also began their careers in the field, which is why we focus on a people-first culture. Simply put, we put our people first. Safety is a priority. Training is a priority. Leadership development is a priority. If it affects our people, it matters.”

While this recognition is a significant milestone, it’s not a finish line; it’s momentum. Wayne Brothers remains focused on continuous improvement, strengthening frontline engagement, developing strong field leadership, and making sure every team member has the tools, training, and support needed to succeed and be their best.
