Tallgrass Energy Partners Recognized as One of The Denver Post’s Top Workplaces’ Workplace Achievers

Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP (NYSE:TEP) is pleased to announce it has been selected as one of The Denver Post’s Top Workplaces’ Workplace Achievers. Based solely on employee feedback, the Top Workplaces program recognizes the best companies to work for in the Denver region.

“I’m especially proud that Tallgrass was named to the Workplace Achievers List because it’s a direct reflection of what our employees think and feel about their company,” said Tallgrass President and CEO David Dehaemers Jr. “We have some of the best and brightest people in the industry working at Tallgrass, and in just over two years their innovation and entrepreneurial spirit has resulted in us being recognized as a Top Workplaces’ Workplace Achiever. I’m honored to be a part of the Tallgrass team.”

Tallgrass employees ranked the company highest in the areas of “My Pay and Benefits.” In this category, employees were asked to address specific statements, such as, “My pay is fair for the work I do,” and “My benefits package is good compared with others in this industry.” Employees also gave the company high marks for “Direction,” which included questions around employees’ confidence in company leadership and belief that Tallgrass is going in the right direction.

The Top Workplaces are determined based on an employee survey conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, a leading research firm on organizational health and employee engagement. WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces programs with 40 major publishing partners across the United States.
