UnitedAg — a Southern California-based agricultural trade association that provides health benefits and services to the agricultural community — was awarded The Orange County Register’s Top Workplaces 2025 honor. This was the second consecutive year that UnitedAg received the honor.

According to The Register, its Orange County Top Workplaces program honors companies that “go above and beyond for their employees — fostering connection, growth and a culture that inspires success.”

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” says Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage, The Register’s program partner that conducts the employee surveys that are critical to the selection process.

“That’s something to be proud of,” Rubino continues. “In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

UnitedAg was one of 61 mid-sized companies to win the honor in 2025. Mid-sized companies are those with 100-499 employees. The process starts in the summer with nominations, followed by confidential employee surveys that measure the employee experience. According to The Register, winners were celebrated at a special event Dec. 4 and again in a special publication of The Register on Dec. 5.

“We are deeply honored to receive this award for the second year in a row,” says Kirti Mutatkar, CEO of UnitedAg. “Our team is the heart of everything we do, and this recognition reflects our commitment to fostering a culture where every voice is valued and every individual can grow. We are proud to serve the agricultural community with a team that leads with passion, collaboration, and purpose.”
