Exact Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:EXAS) shares rose on Wednesday. The company, a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today announced that it has been named a recipient of the 2024 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA). This award honors the world's most engaged workplace cultures.
Gallup created the Exceptional Workplace Award to recognize excellence and celebrate organizations that embed employee engagement into the foundation of how they do their work, motivate their teams, and achieve business results.
“We extend our deepest gratitude to our amazing team at Exact Sciences who made winning Gallup's Exceptional Workplace recognition possible,” said Sarah Kondela, Executive Vice President of Human Resources at Exact Sciences. “Our culture, driven by shared values and collaboration, fosters a community where innovation thrives. We are honored to receive this award because it highlights Exact Sciences' dedication to teamwork, well-being and professional growth, while strengthening our commitment to our mission of helping end cancer.”
The ratio of GEWA Award winners to engaged employees to disengaged employees is 11 times the global average. Globally, only 23% of employees are engaged at work – that is, committed to their work and connected to their workplace – and only 33% of employees in the US workforce are engaged at work. Seventy percent of employees at winning GEWA organizations are engaged.
EXAS shares jumped 88 cents, or 1.3%, to $66.11.
