REDCOM Laboratories, Inc. is proud to announce that the company has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by The Democrat and Chronicle for the second consecutive year. Not only has REDCOM been recognized regionally, but the company has also been recognized nationally with the Top Workplaces Woman-Led Culture Excellence Award.  

The list of Top Workplaces is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization, including alignment, performance, engagement, and leadership, just to name a few. 

“I am honored that REDCOM has been recognized as a Top Workplace in Rochester for the second year in a row,” said Dinah Weisberg, President and CEO, REDCOM. “And on top of that, we were recognized at the national level with a Top Workplaces Culture Award. We owe our employees a huge thank you for making this happen.”  

Mrs. Weisberg continues, “It’s obvious that everyone has faced challenges in the past year dealing with COVID-19, but I couldn’t be more proud of how we have handled these massive adjustments as a company. We’ve kept our employees connected and driven towards a common goal, and we managed to close several large deals in the past year, including a multi-year contract with the U.S. Army. I’m amazed by what we have been able to accomplish in the face of a global pandemic, and I’m encouraged by what we have in the pipeline for 2021.” 

“During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business.”  

REDCOM’s mission centers around enabling the most important conversations in the world for customers that include all branches of the military, government agencies, first responders, and telecom service providers. In a complex and competitive industry, REDCOM stands out from other communications companies by focusing on a refined set of functions that are integral to mission security. 

“No one builds products with the level of interoperability, reliability, and ease of use that REDCOM does,” said Weisberg. “This challenge of meeting — and exceeding — customer requirements is what motivates the team here at REDCOM every day.” 

REDCOM was founded in 1978 in Penfield, NY. In less than a decade, the company expanded so rapidly that it built a brand-new facility on a 40-acre campus in Victor, NY, which REDCOM still occupies today. The entrepreneurial roots from REDCOM’s early days continue to drive the company’s culture today. All employees are empowered to work autonomously and are afforded the power to drive change within the company and its products.  

“What makes the culture here so special is that it is a family business. It’s not only my family’s business, but we’ve always treated our employees like extended members of the family,” said Weisberg. “Our support of the individual and our drive to make the individual succeed is what ultimately makes the whole organization perform at its best.”
