RouteOne, a prominent FinTech based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, is pleased to announce that it has been honored as a 2025 USA Today Top Workplace, a national award.
Additionally, RouteOne has been recognized nationally with the prestigious 2025 Technology Top Workplaces Award for the third year in a row, plus the Top Workplaces Award in Metro Detroit for the ninth time, along with various Culture Excellence Awards such as Innovation, Work-Life Balance, Development, and Leadership.
The Top Workplace commendations are based on an employee survey administered by a third party, which measures the essential drivers of the workplace experience for an organization's success.
The annual Top Workplaces Awards highlight organizations that excel in creating a positive and productive work environment, promoting values, collaboration, engagement, respect, and encouraging professional growth. RouteOne's achievement in securing this accolade reflects its continuous efforts to prioritize the well-being and success of its employees as it serves the market.
A Culture of Innovation
RouteOne was also bestowed an award for Innovation, which coincides with the company's completion of its eighth annual "Innothon." This flagship innovation event has become a cornerstone of team culture, creativity, and collaboration.
What began as an idea sparked by a RouteOne leader serving as a judge at an external competition has grown into an annual tradition that inspires RouteOne staff to embrace cross-functionality and step outside their everyday roles. Employees are encouraged to collaborate on creative, forward-thinking projects and perspectives that explore ideas about the future of the company.
Every year, cross-functional teams form organically, bringing together software engineers, product managers, designers, analysts, and business teams.
Highlights from the past eight years of this culture of innovation, “Innothon,” include:
- Dozens of ideas that transitioned from Innothon prototypes to real products, features, or internal tools.
- Participation from hundreds of team members, leading many to discover new skills and form lasting professional relationships.
- Increased cross-team collaboration that carries over into day-to-day work, improving morale and organizational agility.
"Great ideas don’t live in silos – they thrive in collaboration," said Nichole Roumayah-Shaya, Director, Human Resources at RouteOne. "The future belongs to organizations that create space for curiosity and connection. When we encourage our people to explore and innovate together, we build a culture that never stops evolving. An event like “Innothon” is a testament to the company's belief that great ideas can come from a diverse set of ideas. Receiving these Top Workplaces Awards confirms our commitment and motivates us to continue to advance our workplace."
RouteOne's 600+ outstanding team members are located throughout the US and Canada can benefit from a flexible work/life balance. These esteemed recognitions are a testament to RouteOne's unwavering commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace culture and its dedication to modernization in the vehicle finance industry.
