Shorewest, REALTORS: Named one of southeastern Wisconsin’s top workplaces

Brookfield, Wisconsin. Shorewest, REALTORS® has been named one of Southeastern Wisconsin’s Top Workplaces for 2012, published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“Our people and teamwork are the reasons for our success,” said Joseph A. Horning, president of Shorewest, REALTORS®. “They make it a great, caring, family-oriented place to work.” Shorewest ranked second in the large company category with more than 500 employees. WorkPlaceDynamics conducted the survey, measuring six factors: conditions, pay and benefits, managers, execution, career and direction. Some of the responses included, “I am confident about my future at Shorewest,” “I am happy with my career opportunities at Shorewest” and “I get the formal training I want for my career.”

Shorewest was also top in several other areas, including “There is not a lot of frustration at my workplace,” “At Shorewest, we do things efficiently and well,” “Senior managers understand what is really happening at Shorewest,” “I have confidence in the leader of Shorewest, REALTORS®” and “I have the flexibility I need to balance my work and personal life.”

Shorewest was the only real estate company making the Top Workplace list.
