Discover has been recognized as a 2018 Top Workplace by Columbus CEO Magazine for the sixth year in a row for having an exemplary work environment for employees.

"Discover embraces innovation, collaboration and openness in everything we do. These are core values that drive our success, improve our bottom line and make our company a place where people love to work," said Mike Daverio, Discover's vice president of operations in New Albany, Ohio. "This recognition is a reflection of that and we will continue to provide our employees with the tools and resources they need be successful."

The 2018 Top Workplaces list is based on employee feedback gathered through a survey administered by Energage, LLC, formerly known as WorkplaceDynamics, a research firm that specializes in employee engagement tools.

"Top Workplaces is more than just a recognition," said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. "Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement. Becoming a Top Workplace isn't something organizations can buy. It's an achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It's a big deal."

Discover's more than 2,400 Ohio employees have access to company benefits that include paid maternity and paternity leave, 20 to 25 days of paid time off in their first calendar year, tuition reimbursement, professional development opportunities, and employee resource groups. The New Albany office also offers an onsite fitness center, a health clinic and a full-service café.
