Being named an honoree was no easy feat, as they received over 300 nominations for this year’s award. GovDocs was one of the top-scoring Minnesota businesses honored in the medium company category (50-250 employees) for creating a fun, challenging, and rewarding workplace.
The Eagan, MN-based company, recently celebrating its 25th anniversary, was previously awarded the title in 2021.

The GovDocs Poster Store simplifies posting compliance for employers with less than 30 locations across all industries, offering a variety of posting products to meet your labor law compliance needs.
From humble beginnings in a basement studio apartment to serving many of the largest employers in the U.S., GovDocs has seen tremendous growth over the past 20 years. In 1999, Zach Stabenow, GovDocs Founder and CEO, was working at an industrial signage company that provided hazard-notice compliance products for manufacturing companies.
After several distributors called him and asked, “Is there any way you can produce labor law posters, too,” Zach thought to himself, “What if I created a webstore where companies of all industries can purchase and download PDFs for whatever labor law posters they need?”
Today, GovDocs is a leader in employment law management, helping large, multilocation companies manage the complex world of labor law postings, minimum wage, paid leave and more. We continue to meet our clients’ needs through a growing suite of innovative products.
With nearly 20 percent of the Fortune 500 and 30 percent of the Fortune 50 as clients, GovDocs strives to reinvent the way in which companies remain compliant in the ever-changing employment law landscape.
