HERNDON, VA – Karsun Solutions, enterprise modernization experts, announced today it won the employer award from Comparably for Best Company Outlook. This is Karsun’s third consecutive outlook award from the employee rating site. Karsun Solutions transforms government through modern software development, cloud solutions and data solutions. Its acquisitions, aviation, grants management and fleet management solutions are implemented at federal civilian agencies.
The Best Company Outlook award honors the small and medium sized businesses with the highest employee confidence ratings on Comparably. The site hosts ratings and reviews from current employees of companies of all sizes. It determines honorees based on three measures: employee confidence about their company’s future success, how likely they are to recommend working there to a friend and if they are typically excited to go to work each day.
With just over a decade in business, Karsun’s outlook is strong in part due to its stable, ongoing growth. It is an eight-time Inc. 5000 honoree, repeatedly recognized for its industry leadership and innovative spirit. And at Karsun strong company growth becomes an opportunity for personal growth. This people-first approach excites innovators and collaborators and empowers employees no matter the stage in their career journey.
Karsun provides designated training hours and subsidized certifications for all employees. Karsun Academy, hosted through the in-house Innovation Center, presents workshops, bootcamps and training seminars introducing team members to emerging technologies and industry best practices. For those interested in applying their new knowledge, its Innovation Center practice areas connect team members to practice advocates which help them bring new solutions to life.
Karsun’s flexible, remote environment ensures teams may work in the way that best suits their needs. This is backed by a collaborative, open culture that includes directly interfacing with Karsun executives. It hosts monthly Coffee and Brunch with Leadership sessions. These small, informal groups invite two-way discussions about the future and vision for Karsun.
In addition to the Best Company Outlook award, Karsun previously received awards from Comparably for Perks and Benefits, Happiness and Culture. It is also a recent recipient of The 2022 Oklahoman Top Workplaces award.

As the Great Resignation gives way to the Great Return, 4.2% of employees returned to a former employer, per Bloomberg. That story lists culture, stability, and colleagues among the reasons team members return. While this is great news for people looking for a career that best suits their needs, it is also great news for employers.
An Opportunity for Employers
A recent Comparably Insider blog post included some of the employers actively seeking these boomerang employees. Among them, Karsun Solutions. Our teams are made up of collaborators, innovators, and experts who deliver what’s possible for government agencies. And since the start of the pandemic, 18 employees have returned to Team Karsun! Already empowered to Do Extraordinary, returning team members are familiar with our collaborative culture, innovative spirit and opportunities for growth.
In particular, they are likely connected with one of our five Practice Areas hosted by our Innovation Center. These employee-centered teams, headed by a practice advocate, plan training and professional development opportunities, sponsor talks by industry experts, connect teams to prototyping and innovation resources and maintain libraries with toolkits supporting best practices. Coming into Karsun aware of these resources creates an added synergy and helps us build greater technology solutions together.
Connecting and Growing Together
Many of these team members stay connected through their managers and leaders who are personally invested in their growth and development. Karsun invests in the professional development and growth of every team member. We embrace a career journey mindset and understand some of our team may leave us to pursue their next opportunity.
Nevertheless, when former employees start a new path, we stay connected. Social media aids in this connection. This pattern is not uncommon, as Fast Company notes a survey of 5,000 US and UK employees found that 75% of respondents were interested in maintaining contact with their previous employer after resigning.
At Karsun, this is often through the same professional development organizations we supported when they were a team member. We are a longtime supporter of industry development programs like those offered through the American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC). Many team members also participate in Meetups allowing them to maintain a connection with their colleagues regardless of organization.
Later, when these former teammates seek a career change, they reconnect with current Karsun team members and previous colleagues. Given the opportunity to our teams, we frequently welcome these returning employees. Whether following the Great Resignation or as a result of a different change in career, we find new and exciting possibilities to Do Extraordinary once our boomerang team members return.
