The Trust Company of Tennessee has been named a Top Workplace by the Knoxville News Sentinel for the 10th consecutive year.
The firm was among only 17 companies to be recognized in the mid-size category. It first earned the Top Workplace distinction in 2017, the first year of the rankings.
Founded in 1987 and with offices in Chattanooga, Knoxville and the Tri-Cities, The Trust Company of Tennessee currently has more than $6 billion under management. The firm helps individuals, families, business owners and nonprofits make better financial decisions through wealth management, personal investment strategy, corporate retirement plans, estate planning, personal trust and nonprofit investing services.
“Ten years as a Top Workplace is certainly worthy of celebration,” said Daniel Carter, president of The Trust Company of Tennessee. “The commitment of our team members to professional excellence, growth, each other, our values and our clients is the way we’ve been able to sustain a decade of receiving this great honor. This recognition is for our company, but it’s the individuals who have earned the achievement. Congratulations to our team and the other great workplaces on this year’s list.”
Winners were honored at The Greater Knoxville Area Top Workplaces 2026 Award celebration on July 23. Top Workplaces are determined through employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey includes questions that measure drivers of organizational success, including workplace culture and employee experience and themes such as growth, support and empowerment.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” Energage CEO Eric Rubino said. “That’s something to be proud of. 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.”
