At Sage, we believe great hospitality starts with people. When associates feel supported, respected, and connected, they create extraordinary experiences for guests and communities alike.
That commitment has earned Sage recognition as one of Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Workplaces for Culture, Belonging & Community 2026. The award honors organizations that lead with purpose and foster workplaces where people can grow, contribute, and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
A culture shaped by purpose and values
Sage’s culture is grounded in values that guide how we work and how we treat one another: Serve with Purpose, Always Grow, Give with Heart, and Earn Trust. These values show up in everyday moments, from how leaders listen and respond to feedback to how teams support one another across our properties and corporate teams.
We strive to create environments where associates feel empowered to bring their full selves to work, share ideas openly, and build meaningful connections. Belonging at Sage is not about fitting a mold. It is about being valued for who you are and what you bring.
What the recognition reflects
Newsweek’s Culture, Belonging & Community recognition is based on independent research evaluating how large U.S. employers support inclusive, people-centered workplaces. The study draws on millions of employee insights and examines factors such as leadership, integrity, work-life balance, and overall employee experience.
For Sage, this recognition affirms the impact of a culture built intentionally over time. One where listening matters, growth is encouraged, and community extends beyond the workplace into the neighborhoods we serve.
Built by our people
This recognition belongs to our associates. Their passion, creativity, and care for one another shape Sage every day. From frontline teams to leaders across the organization, it is their commitment to living our values that brings our culture to life.
When people feel a strong sense of belonging, they do their best work. We see that reflected in how our teams collaborate, innovate, and show up for guests and partners.
