This prestigious award is presented to the organization that has demonstrated the most significant improvement over the past year in four key areas: leadership, compensation, benefits and policies, and recruitment and retention. The selection is based on data gathered from the Women's Fund's annual Compass Survey, which assesses organizations' efforts and impact in fostering an equitable workplace. By measuring tangible progress, the award highlights companies that are actively driving change and setting a new standard for gender equity in the workplace.

A record 75 local employers completed the Compass Survey, up from last year's previous best of 54, and Fort Wayne Metals' recognition is a testament to the intentional efforts happening within its organization to advance women and create equitable opportunities.
