As basketball fans, we often undervalue the intangible keys to success, and perhaps the most critical forgotten aspect is having a well-run organization. Atlanta Journal-Construction recently recognized the Hawks organization by naming both the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena a 2025 Top Workplace.
Over 70,000 businesses were invited to the study organized by HR research company Energage. Top Workplaces were chosen based on confidential survey responses from employees. This isn't the only workplace award the two organizations have won in recent memory, earning USA TODAY's 2025 Top Workplace award and Front Office Sports's Best Employers in Sports for the third time in 2024.
