Pinnacle Holding Company is proud to announce it has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list and recognized in the Business/Corporate Services category. The list, which can be found at Inc.com, honors American companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses, whether in-person, remote, or hybrid.
The award is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of hundreds of applicants. The process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score. Pinnacle is honored to be included among the 507 companies recognized this year.
“Our culture has always been rooted in people first. We’ve worked hard to build an environment where employees feel supported, challenged, and genuinely connected to the work they do and the people around them,” said Gregg Kidd, CEO of Pinnacle Holding Company. “This recognition reflects the incredible team we have across all of our companies and the collaborative culture they continue to create every day.”
