Selection is based on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, which measured several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection. ​“Now in its sixth year, The Post’s Top Workplaces list continues to reflect companies in the region that cultivate a connection with their workforce,” said Washington Post Top Workplaces editor Dion Haynes. ​“It’s clear from the survey that these organizations share a commitment to providing support and an environment that makes employees feel valued and respected.” ![Top-Wkpl-Resize_2.jpg](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/news/Top-Wkpl-Resize_2.jpg "Top-Wkpl-Resize_2.jpg") ​“I am thrilled that we have been named a Top Workplace for six years straight – it is a testament to our attorneys and staff more than anything else,” said [Kathy Cannon](/Our-People/Kathleen-W-Cannon), managing partner of the firm’s Washington office. ​“We spend so much of our day with the people we work with, it has always been and will always remain a priority to create a work environment where lawyers and staff are passionate and driven and share an ​‘all in’ attitude.” This past year, Kelley Drye continued with firm traditions such as staff appreciation week, community service events with local DC organizations such as [Miriam’s Kitchen](https://miriamskitchen.org/), [Bright Beginnings](https://bbidc.org/), an ongoing partnership with [Noyes Elementary School](http://dcpsnes.ss14.sharpschool.com/), annual baseball games and family day at the National Zoo – events that give attorneys and staff time to connect outside of the traditional work environment. The firm also took a closer look at health and wellness. In October, the firm held a retreat for women partners and special counsel, which emphasized health and well-being, in addition to programming about client service and business development. The DC office also formed a Wellness Committee, which already implemented healthier food options, a wellness newsletter, and a larger wellness week event.
