Here’s what three of the 2015 winners had to say about the program:
Carrie North of Purdue Federal Credit Union: “The team
camaraderie that comes along with being named a Best Place to Work
is amazing. Every employee has a hand in making our organization one
of the Best Places to Work. It’s fun to see everyone
celebrate the next day at work and share the news
with their family and friends. It’s an honor to be
very proud of and to celebrate.”
Rebecca Reott, Hanapin Marketing: “The Best
Places to Work award helps us to reconfirm where
employees see value, as well as provide increased
visibility into areas where we need to improve. We
use the feedback report from the competition to
determine our focus areas for the next 12 months
and beyond. It highlights any potential disconnects
we may have (like quick fixes), as well as inspires
us to improve on larger items over time.”
Lisa Schlehuber, Elements Financial: “Being a
Best Place to Work is about taking pride in who
we are and what we do daily. We don’t participate
in the process just to get the plaque on the wall
and to say we’re the best. We take the employee
feedback to heart and use it as a great tool to improve our workplace
and its benefits and culture. We respect what it means to be on this list.”
Best Places to Work sponsorship opportunities are also available.
