Sharp Electronics Corp. (SEC), located in Montvale, New Jersey, has announced it has been named as a Best Place to Work in New Jersey 2023 for the third consecutive year by NJBIZ. Sharp was recognized in the large company category (250-plus employees) alongside several other prominent businesses in the state. This achievement follows the receipt of another prestigious workplace award, as Sharp was also recently recognized in the inaugural NJBIZ Empowering Women awards for its innovative efforts advancing women in the workplace and the community.

Winners of NJBIZ's 2023 Best Places to Work are selected based off a confidential survey completed by employees to gather feedback about their employers and why they believe their company is an ideal place to work, as well as their thoughts on company policies and benefits. This year, an unprecedented number of companies completed the survey, resulting in 150 winning companies.

To be recognized for the Empowering Women awards, Sharp shared some of the work of its Women Influencing Sharp's Evolution (WISE) employee resource group. Founded in 2018, WISE provides opportunities for professional development and networking for Sharp women, fostering a diverse and inclusive culture and celebrating women's accomplishments at Sharp.

"To not only be recognized by NJBIZ as a Best Place to Work in New Jersey for a third consecutive year, but to also receive an award for empowering women is a true honor for all of us here at Sharp and a testimony to Sharp's amazing employees," said Jeff Ashida, chairman, president and CEO, Sharp Electronics Corp. in the U.S. "What makes these awards even more satisfying is they reinforce the collaborative environment and common goals toward success to which we are all committed. Thank you to NJBIZ and all our employees who make Sharp the best place to work."

Winners for the Empowering Women and Best Places to Work awards will be honored at awards ceremonies on Aug. 1, 2023, and Sept. 28, 2023, respectively.
