DUBLIN, OHIO - February 18, 2026 - SMACT Works, Inc., a leading Oracle consulting firm, has been named a 2025 Best and Brightest Company to Work For® in the Nation, in addition to earning recognition as a 2025 Best and Brightest Company to Work For® in Ohio, by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).

These prestigious awards honor organizations nationwide for excellence in human resources, employee engagement, and workplace culture. The National Best and Brightest designation represents the program's highest honor, recognizing companies that set the national standard for workplace excellence.

"Earning recognition at both the state and national level is incredibly meaningful," said Ranjith Yengoti, CEO of SMACT Works. "It validates our belief that when you invest intentionally in people, you build not just a strong company, but a sustainable one. Our culture is a strategic advantage, not an afterthought."

"These companies have excelled by prioritizing their workplace culture," said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO of NABR. "By putting their employees first, this exceptional group of top-tier leaders has created a strong foundation that distinguishes them as employers of choice both locally and nationally."
