In addition, BZI has been recognized in the following national categories from Top Workplaces:

Top Workplaces for Leadership

The Top Workplaces Awards are part of the fourth-annual survey co-sponsored by USA TODAY and Energage. The awards celebrate companies that make the world a better place to work by prioritizing a people-centered culture and giving employees a voice. Winners are identified solely based on employee feedback gathered through an engagement survey, and companies were chosen based on surveys taken over 12 months in 2023.

"The culture at BZI is the foundation of everything that we do, and our values of teamwork, innovation, and action are the cornerstones for our organization," said James Barlow, CEO of BZI. "When culture comes first, the company can – and will – thrive throughout its journey. This award would not have been possible without our team members' hard work and dedication, which bring our values and mission to life. We're thrilled to be named one of the Top Workplaces in the nation and will continue our journey to facilitate this culture as we grow and expand."

"A Top Workplaces Award brings a company's culture strengths to the national stage, helping them differentiate in a fiercely competitive landscape," said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage, which oversees the Top Workplaces Awards. "It's a morale-boosting honor for the workforce and an effective magnet for attracting top-tier talent."

BZI had a phenomenal year in 2023 and continues to thrive. By the summer of 2023, the company had reached $1 billion in accumulated revenue and doubled its workforce from 450 team members—when the Top Workplaces survey was taken—to more than 800 today. The company also increased the number of large-scale projects by 62% from 2022 by growing the business beyond warehousing and expanding projects in industries such as batteries, microchips, electric vehicles, and food and beverage.
