Waukesha, Wisconsin, March 6, 2024– HRG is proud to be certified by Great Place To Work® for the second year in a row. The prestigious award is based entirely on current employee feedback about their experience working at HRG. This year, responses from HRG associates determined that 88% consider it a great place to work — compared to 57% of employees at the average U.S. company.
Great Place To Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation.
Dawn Vogelsang, president and majority owner of HRG, said, “It’s exciting to be awarded this certification for the second year in a row. Culture is very important to our leadership team. We believe in creating an environment of mutual respect where open communication is encouraged and employees and guests are made to feel welcome and accepted. I’m happy our associates feel we are meeting those objectives.”
Beth Maas, SPHR, director of human resources at HRG, said, “We regularly have events such as lunches or wellness activities, as well as occasions to participate in giving back to our community, to present opportunities for our associates to take a break from work. Sometimes the activities are designed to relieve stress and sometimes it’s just about being able to enjoy interacting with co-workers and have fun.”
“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that HRG stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
