The Salem Group makes Top 100 Best Places to Work in Chicago Finalists List by Crain’s Chicago Business
Chicago, IL – March 9, 2020 – The Salem Group has been named one of Crain’s 2020 Best Places to Work in Chicago. The complete list of winners, in alphabetical order, is available here. The full Best Places to Work in Chicago ranking – plus a breakdown of the rankings based on company size – will be announced at a live event on April 17. The ranking of the 100 top employers will appear in the April 20 issue of Crain’s and online following the event at ChicagoBusiness.com/BestPlaces2020.
“I believe that having one of the best places to work has little to do with our stylish offices, catered meals, or mood lighting and has everything to do with wonderful, passionate people working together to achieve and important mission which benefits everyone we serve and touch, “ said Dori Lorenz, President and CEO of The Salem Group. “Thank you, Crain’s, for supporting our mission of connecting extraordinary people with extraordinary organizations.”
In partnership with Best Companies Group, Crain’s surveyed thousands of employees on the types of working conditions, benefits and corporate culture that make a company a great place to work. The awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the 100 best companies to work for in Chicago.
Finalists were determined by the results of a weighted survey of employees and employers, conducted by Crain’s in partnership with Best Companies Group.
To be considered for participation, companies had to:
• Be a publicly or privately held business
• Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business, or government entity
• Have a facility in the Chicago area (including the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake in Illinois, Lake in Indiana, McHenry or Will)
• Have a minimum of 25 full-time or part-time employees working in Chicago
• Have been in business a minimum of one year
Determining the Best Places to Work in Chicago involved a two-step process. The first step consisted of evaluating each participating company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. This part was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the best companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and analyzed the data and used its expertise to determine the final ranking.
The Salem Group will be honored at the 2020 Best Places to Work in Chicago awards event on Friday, April 17 at the Hilton Chicago. Event details can be found here.
