Mill Steel Named 101 Best & Brightest to Work For It’s another bright year for Mill Steel Company as we are once again named one of West Michigan’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For! This is Mill Steel’s 16th year winning this distinguished award for having the most innovative and thoughtful human resources practices! An independent research firm evaluates each company’s entry based on key measures in various categories. They include Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment, Selection and Orientation; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; Community Initiatives; and Strategic Company Performance. Mill Steel recorded higher than the regional median in seven of the ten categories, an overall great performance and score. The winning companies will be honored on Tuesday, May 7 at the JW Marriott in downtown Grand Rapids. They will also compete for 13 elite awards, one granted for each category the nominees are evaluated on, and an overall winner that has excelled in all categories will be honored with a “Best of the Best” award. The elite award winners will be revealed during the luncheon. “These companies have created impressive organizational value and business results through their policies and best practices in human resource management. This award has become a designation sought after by hundreds of West Michigan companies and is a powerful recruitment tool in the drive to attract and retain exceptional employees,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs. Thank you to everyone that took time to complete the anonymous survey that was randomly distributed last August. We would not be where we are today without each of you! Article by: Amanda Allspach
