Holiday Automotive has been selected as a recipient of the 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award. This national distinction celebrates organizations that have successfully cultivated exceptional, people-first workplace cultures.

Out of more than 42,000 invited organizations, Holiday Automotive was recognized as one of the top workplaces in the United States for its unwavering commitment to fostering an environment where every team member is heard and valued. The 2026 winners were showcased by USA TODAY both online and at the National Awards Summit in Las Vegas.

“This recognition belongs entirely to our team,” said Michael Shannon, Jr., President and CEO of Holiday Automotive. “Our core values aren’t just words on a wall; they are lived every day by the people who make this company great. Earning this award validates our commitment to a culture where every visit is ‘Worth the Trip’, not just for our guests, but for our team. It is their dedication to excellence and to one another that continues to drive our success.”

The award winners are determined solely by authentic employee feedback gathered through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, a leading HR research and technology firm. The survey measures six Workplace Experience Themes that are proven indicators of high-performing workplaces.

“Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “This award is more than just a recognition; it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.”
