WASHINGTON, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oridian Capital Partners (“Oridian”), formerly known as HCI Equity Partners, announced today that it has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list for the second year in a row. The list honors American companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses, whether in-person, remote, or hybrid.
The award is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of hundreds of applicants. The process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score. Oridian is honored to be included among the 507 companies recognized this year.

We believe in work-life balance and transparent communication within our firm and across our portfolio companies and consider Oridian a truly great place to work. We are pleased to see that culture recognized once again on a national level.”
“This year’s Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture–it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall.”
