ST. LOUIS (MBU) – Missouri Baptist University has been named a 2023 Top Workplace by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the 11th consecutive year. MBU remains the only higher education institution in the St. Louis area to receive this award for so many years.
“We are delighted to once again be named a top workplace in the region,” said University President Dr. Keith Ross. “This significant recognition affirms MBU’s steadfast commitment to cultivate a culture that supports and promotes a healthy work-life balance, empowering our exceptional faculty and staff to be flourishing employees. The MBU community continues to share a common purpose to deepen and expand the University’s distinctively Christian mission,” Ross said.
The list of Top Workplaces in St. Louis is based on a survey conducted by the firm Energage, LLC.

The anonymous survey measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are, according to Energage, “critical to an organization’s success,” including mission alignment, execution and connection.
This year’s report showcased the cultural excellence within MBU, emphasizing the work-life balance faculty and staff create, promote and enjoy.
