Atlanta Company Cracks Employee Retention Code
Thursday, October 16th, 2025
Most Loved Workplace® has released the 2025 America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces®. The rankings, published as a custom content feature in The Wall Street Journal, highlight 100 organizations across industries that are transforming employee experience and redefining retention strategies in today’s economy. Your 3rd Spot is ranked #46 (#73 in 2024) on this prestigious list, which recognizes employers where people truly love to work.
Your 3rd Spot is also one of only two restaurants to earn a place on the 2025 list and is the top-ranked business from Georgia, a reflection of the company’s commitment to creating a workplace where team members feel valued, connected, and inspired.
“These companies aren’t just attracting top talent—they’ve cracked the code on how to keep employees engaged and thriving,” said Louis Carter, founder and CEO of Best Practice Institute and creator of the Most Loved Workplaces® certification and annual rankings. “America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® prove that when you help employees become who they want to be, they’ll help your company become what it needs to be.”
Why This Workplace Stands Out
As U.S. businesses face unprecedented pressure from employee burnout, shifting job markets, and AI-driven change, the 2025 America’s Most Loved Workplaces® show a better way forward. These companies go beyond transactional perks to create transformational cultures rooted in growth, purpose, and connection.
“Being named one of America’s Most Loved Workplaces® for the second consecutive year is more than an honor; it’s a testament to the culture our team has built together,” said Josh Rossmeisl, founder and chief vision officer of AMP Up1 Hospitality, parent company of Your 3rd Spot. “From day one, we’ve focused on creating an environment where people feel empowered to grow, supported to succeed, and inspired to bring their best selves to work every day. This recognition is proof that when you invest in people first, everything else, from guest experience to company performance, follows.”
How the Rankings Were Determined
The 2025 America’s Most Loved Workplaces® list is grounded in proof from employees themselves. Research was conducted by Best Practice Institute (BPI) using the proprietary Love of Workplace Index® and advanced sentiment analysis. This methodology captures how employees truly experience their workplace, measuring emotional connection, collaboration, respect, alignment of values, and achievement.
More than 2.8 million U.S. employees were surveyed across companies of all sizes and industries. Hundreds of executives were also interviewed to provide context on culture, leadership, and strategy. Companies represented 50+ industries, from financial services to healthcare, technology, construction, and more. This independent validation ensures the rankings reflect both the lived experiences of employees and a rigorous external assessment of workplace practices. In an era where candidates and employees seek proof over promises, America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® provides credible recognition that employees themselves stand behind.
