Forefront Named to Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces List

St. Clair Shores, Mich. – June 17, 2025 Forefront, a leading provider of culinary and support services for mission-driven organizations, has been recognized as one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces for the second year in a row. A prestigious honor awarded to only 514 companies nationwide. This annual list celebrates U.S.-based organizations that prioritize strong workplace culture, exceptional employee benefits, and high levels of employee engagement.

To earn this recognition, Inc. partnered with Quantum Workplace to conduct a comprehensive four-step evaluation process. Applicants were assessed through:

  1. A detailed company application outlining key business information and cultural practices.
  2. A benefits audit reviewing 37 key offerings, from wellness initiatives and paid leave to insurance and employee experience programs.
  3. An in-depth employee engagement survey, with staff rating their experience across 40 prompts related to leadership, compensation, culture, and more.
  4. A final vetting process ensuring each company met editorial standards of ethics, transparency, and accuracy.

Companies had to meet rigorous benchmarks across both the benefits inventory and employee survey, with minimum scores and employee participation thresholds required for consideration.

Forefront’s recognition as an Inc. Best Workplace confirms that its internal values and practices are not only aspirational but actualized, validated directly by the employees who help drive its success.
