Many times I’ve shared the stories here of amazing businesses like Plante & Moran, Competitive Edge, Whirlpool and others who have garnered nationwide recognition as being among the best places to work in America. Clearly, most businesses on a local scale rarely have the opportunity to share in that bright of a spotlight, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t equally an awesome place to work. So, the search begins today for the best places to work in Michigan’s Great Southwest.
Join me and local business leaders today as we launch the effort to identify 20 local businesses with the best morale making a difference for their employees as well as others in our community.
Today, Moody on the Market is introducing our inaugural search for the Best Places to Work in Michigan’s Great Southwest, a prestigious new recognition program reserved exclusively for the best businesses in our region. We are appreciative of the support of our major sponsors for the campaign, Honor Credit Union, Kinexus, and Wightman with support from the United Way of Southwest Michigan.
Do you work for or know a business that is doing it right for their staff and employees, and even making a positive impact in our community? The nomination process officially begins this Thursday, January 17th. Beginning on that day, everyone is invited to submit nominations online here at MoodyontheMarket.com. The deadline for entries will be the end of the day, Friday, February 1st. A committee of business people from the community will then select the twenty top businesses for 2019.
Then on Tuesday, March 12th, I will unveil the Best Places to Work during the Moody in the Morning Radio Show on News/Talk 94.9 WSJM and 98.3 The Coast Social Network, and detail each honoree in a special section here, inside MoodyontheMarket.com. Plus, all of the Best Places to Work will be invited to a cocktail reception where they’ll be recognized and receive their recognition award.
Please note that there are eligibility requirements, and they can be found under the tab at the top of the page. Best Places to Work recognizes the type of business that everyone would like to work at – they’re the businesses that are going above and beyond for their team and the community, setting the gold standard for others to aspire to.
No matter the industry or sector, we’d love to hear about those stellar businesses among us that are making a difference at their workplace, excelling in their industry and making valuable contributions to betterment of Michigan’s Great Southwest. These companies clearly stand head and shoulders above all others in the region and have been able to excel at what they do regularly. Those selected for representation in the Best Places to Work will be those that set the tone for what every good company or organization should ascribe to in Michigan’s Great Southwest.
To submit a nomination starting Thursday, click the link to go to an online survey where you will be asked to answer less than 20 questions about the business being nominated. Be sure to read the information under that tab, which explains requirements and eligibility. Don’t forget to share about your nominations and spread the word about this program on social media using hashtag #MoodyBestPlacesToWork!
