Littleton, Colorado (September 20, 2021) – Payroll Vault was recently honored with the Gold award by Franchise Business Review as part of the 2021 Franchising@WORK Awards.

Franchise Business Review (FBR), a market research firm that specializes in benchmarking satisfaction within the franchising sector, conducts surveys of corporate franchise employees, franchise supplier employees, and franchise owners’ employees across North America each year to determine their levels of engagement.
FBR recently conducted the industry-wide Franchising@WORK Employee Engagement & Compensation Benchmarking Study to provide aggregate data to help franchise companies understand how their culture, compensation, and engagement compare to others. All corporate franchise employees were invited to take part.
Participants were asked 24 core benchmark questions related to job satisfaction, engagement, management, brand leadership, and culture, as well as detailed personal questions about their position, compensation, benefits, and demographics.
Franchises that participated in Franchise Business Review’s employee engagement research were eligible for the Franchising@WORK Awards. FBR analyzed data from over 4,000 franchise professionals to identify the finalists based on responses from their employees in eight key areas. Payroll Vault received the Gold award in the Small Class (under 25 employees).
“Recruiting and retaining employees was challenging pre-pandemic. Now, it’s nearly impossible for some organizations, as work/life balance, job flexibility (i.e. remote work), and higher wages have become top priorities,” says Eric Stites, founder and CEO of Franchise Business Review. “Brands that were focused on building a strong culture prior to the pandemic have fared far better in maintaining high levels of employee engagement, which translates directly to engaged franchisees and, ultimately, to more loyal, satisfied customers. We are proud to recognize the companies that have dedicated the time and consistency to creating a culture that really moves the needle.”
“We are honored to receive this award and recognition from Franchise Business Review. Thank you! We believe the key to our success is based on a couple different components – culture and cultivation,” explained Sean Manning, CEO/Founder of Payroll Vault. “When you intentionally build a desirable and effective culture, you begin to attract entrepreneurs – career focused women and men. From that point on, you are offering a career and not just a job, no matter if it’s at the corporate level or franchise ownership.”
Tricia Petteys, COO/Co-founder, adds, “It’s equally as important to remain engaged to encourage open communication and support throughout the whole system. Naturally, we’ve always been a collaborative team, but we have taken collaboration to the next level and will continue to break barriers.”
