CHARLOTTE, N.C., November 9, 2026 — NAVEX, the global leader in AI-native integrated risk and compliance management software, today announced it has been named a 2026 Top Workplace by the Charlotte Observer, recognizing the company’s continued commitment to building a workplace where employees can grow and make meaningful contributions to NAVEX’s mission of helping its clients create trusted workplaces.
Top Workplaces recognition is based solely on confidential employee feedback collected by Energage, LLC. The survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, making the recognition a direct reflection of employees’ experiences.
“Our culture is ultimately defined by how our people work together every day,” said Cindy Raz, Chief People Officer at NAVEX. “This recognition is meaningful because it comes directly from our teammates. It mirrors the environment we are working to create, one where people are encouraged to understand our customers, challenge ideas constructively, innovate with purpose and take ownership of delivering results the right way.”
Building a Culture That Turns Values Into Action
At NAVEX, the way people work together says a lot about the company’s culture. There’s an expectation that teammates will ask questions, listen to customers and take responsibility for finding better ways to get things done. Good ideas can come from anywhere, and people are encouraged to challenge traditional approaches, try something different and learn along the way.
That same openness shapes how teams work with one another. Honest conversations are welcomed, different perspectives are valued and people are expected to follow through on their commitments. For a company that helps organizations build trust and uphold ethical standards, those expectations carry particular meaning. NAVEX employees are held to the same principles the company champions for its customers.
Growing Talent in Charlotte
NAVEX’s Charlotte office is an important hub for cross-functional collaboration, bringing together employees across engineering, sales, services, customer success and other functions. Charlotte-based employees play a key role in supporting the innovative risk and compliance solutions used by 13,000 organizations worldwide.
As the Charlotte team continues to grow, NAVEX invests in coaching, development and opportunities for employees to expand their skills and careers. That commitment is reinforced by a culture that expects employees at every level to contribute ideas, learn from one another and take ownership of their impact.
“Building a high-performance organization starts with our people and their shared passion to win,” added Raz. “When people feel empowered to take ownership, challenge themselves, and bring out the best in one another, we create stronger teams and deliver better outcomes for our clients. Recognition from the Charlotte Observer is especially meaningful because it reflects the commitment and contributions of our people, who bring our culture to life every day.”
