18 Wisconsin Companies Named Among America’s Greatest Workplaces 2023

WISCONSIN — Eighteen companies headquartered in Wisconsin were recently named to the America’s Greatest Workplaces 2023 rankings released by Newsweek and its data partner, Plant-A Insights Group.

Newsweek used a 5-star rating system to rank companies. The rating is based on a national survey on benefits, workplace environment, career development, empowerment of women, promotion of veterans, development of entry-level employees and support for LGBTQ+ employees.

The largest companies headquartered in Wisconsin that made the list include:

• Children's Hospital and Health System, which employs over 5,000 people and has revenues between $1-5 billion, received a 4-star ranking. The company was founded in 1894.
• Kalahari Resorts, which employs between 1,000-5,000 people and has revenues between $100-250 million, received a 4-star ranking. The company was founded in 2000.
• Green Bay Packaging, which employs between 1,000-5,000 people and has revenues between $1-5 billion, earned a 5-star ranking. The company was founded in 1933.

Here are some other Wisconsin companies that made the list and where they ranked:

• 4Imprint earned four stars.
• Baker Furniture earned five stars.
• Batteries Plus earned four stars.
• Fairway Independent Mortgage earned five stars.
• Froedtert earned four and a half stars.
• Jockey earned five stars.
• Kwik Trip earned four and a half stars.
• Northwestern Mutual earned five stars.
• Quad earned four stars.
• Rockwell Automation earned four stars.

To develop the ranking, Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group surveyed companies employing at least 1,000 people about their employment experience and also consulted more than 389,000 company reviews.

The companies that made the final ranking share common values such as competitive salaries and benefits, equity and diversity, and a workplace culture that is open to new ideas, Newsweek said. Additionally, the companies provide comfortable working environments while encouraging career development and work-life balance.

Companies that create “great workplaces” benefit from increased productivity and lower turnover rates that contribute to stability while employees benefit from better physical and mental health, the magazine said. Those employees tend to take fewer sick days, are less likely to experience burnout, and provide excellent service to their customers and colleagues.
