Universal Parking Honored as a Top Workplace for 2026 in South Florida
In a remarkable achievement, Universal Parking, a leading name in the parking industry, has earned the prestigious title of a 2026 Top Workplace in South Florida as recognized by the Sun Sentinel. This accolade marks the third consecutive year Universal Parking has received this honor, having also been acknowledged in both 2025 and 2024.
The Top Workplace awards celebrate organizations that have cultivated exceptional workplace cultures prioritizing people. This year, a total of 8,483 companies were invited to participate in the survey, and only 170 were distinguished with this honor. The winners were announced during a gala event held at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort on May 21.
Thad Caraway, Vice President of Operations in South Florida, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating, "We’re incredibly honored to be recognized as one of South Florida’s Top Workplaces again this year. We have worked diligently to foster a culture that is supportive and focused on our people, and I’m proud of everything our team has achieved this year. I’m confident we’ll continue to reach new heights in the future."
The selection process for the Top Workplaces award is based entirely on feedback collected from employees through an independent survey administered by Energage LLC, a third-party employee engagement technology partner. This confidential survey assesses participants' experiences, focusing on various themes, including feelings of respect, support, growth, and empowerment among employees.

It highlights the importance of allowing employees to voice their opinions and feel heard in today’s competitive market. Companies that foster this environment reap significant rewards."
