Franklin, TN —The City of Franklin has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2026 honor by The Tennessean.

More than 90% of employees participated in the survey. The results showed that 88% believe their teams work well together, 88% are satisfied with their jobs, and 83% feel they are part of something meaningful. Those numbers matter because communities are strongest when the people serving them care about the work they do. When teams work well together, projects move forward.
