Congratulations to our Chicago office, recently named one of the 2013 Best Places to Work in Illinois. Creating an enjoyable, success-oriented company culture in which our employee-owners grow and thrive is always at the top of our priority list. Recognition like this lets us know we’re achieving our goal.
The annual Best Places to Work list is a collaborative effort between The Daily Herald Business Ledger, the Human Resources Management Association of Chicago, the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce and the Workforce Boards of Metropolitan Chicago and managed by Best Companies Group.
Honorees are chosen through a two-part process that consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, information that comprised approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. Secondly, data was gathered from employee surveys designed to measure the employee experience, which contributed to 75 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores were then used to determine the top companies and their final rankings.
Before the evaluation begins, participating companies must meet several eligibility requirements, including:
- Have at least 15 employees working in Illinois
- Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity
- Be a publicly or privately held business
- Have a facility in the state of Illinois
- Be in business a minimum of 1 year
We’re honored to be among 25 large-size companies (250+ U.S. employees) on this year’s 2013 Best Places to Work in Illinois list. This sort of recognition wouldn’t be possible without our talented, hard-working employee-owners who are the heart of our firm. Thanks for everything you do, not just for Burns & McDonnell but for our clients, too. And to the rest of the honorees on this year’s list, congratulations! We’re proud to be in such great company.
