Citrin Cooperman’s Franchise Practice Named a 2026 Employee Satisfaction Award Finalist by Franchise Business Review

We are pleased to announce that Citrin Cooperman’s Franchise Practice was named a finalist for the 2026 Employee Satisfaction Awards by Franchise Business Review. The awards recognize franchise companies with the highest employee satisfaction based on an independent survey of their employees.

Franchise Business Review’s (FBR) employee engagement research helps franchise companies understand how their organizational culture and engagement compare to other companies in the franchise sector to help improve hiring and retention practices. Participants are asked questions related to job satisfaction, engagement, skills and experience, management, leadership, and culture. The aggregate results are released annually in FBR’s Franchising at WORK Report.

Franchise companies that participated in Franchise Business Review’s employee engagement research were eligible for the Employee Satisfaction Awards. FBR analyzed data from over 9,500 corporate and unit-level employees to identify the finalists.

"Being recognized as a 2026 FBR Employee Satisfaction Award finalist is truly an honor. Creating a positive employee experience is a team effort, and I am grateful to work alongside colleagues who make our workplace supportive, collaborative, and inspiring everyday" said Partner and Franchise Practice Leader Michael Iannuzzi.

Winners will be announced live on September 11, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
