Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce: Achieves silver employee friendly workplace certification

FOX CITIES, Wis. – October 14, 2021 – The Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce has achieved Silver Certification in the Fox Cities Employee Friendly Workplace Initiative – a program it administers on behalf of the community with the goal of improving employee engagement and encouraging employee loyalty by creating supportive work environments.

A region-wide dedication to these policies, practices, and principles of employee friendliness helps distinguish the Fox Cities as an outstanding place to live, work, and play – a key component of the Chamber’s talent attraction and retention objectives.

“As the administrator of this program, we believed it was important that the Chamber itself, as a Fox Cities workplace, was a full participant in the initiative,” Becky Bartoszek, President and CEO of the Fox Cities Chamber, said. “While we are a small employer, we were still able to qualify at the Silver level and are very proud of what that certification says about the Chamber as a place to work and the example we are setting for employers throughout the region.”

Chamber employees enjoy flexible work schedules; a family-friendly work environment; and perks like bonuses and discounts on recreation and entertainment.

“It was a real pleasure completing the evaluation of our Chamber’s application,” initiative director Eric Broten, Director of Business Retention and Expansion at the Fox Cities Chamber, said. “It’s great to be part of a team that ‘walks the walk’ when it comes to employee friendliness and work/life integration.”
