“Hanson Dodge Creative has always been committed to being a place where active bodies and active minds come together to do transformational work,” Tim Dodge, President of HDC, said. “To be named to OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work list for the fourth year in a row is a huge honor. It’s a testament to the people here and the work they do every day."
“The companies recognized in this year’s Best Places to Work list are the gold standard for stellar work environments that seek to empower their employees both in and out of the office,” said OUTSIDE Online Editor Scott Rosenfield. “The new categories in this year’s list serve to highlight outstanding workplaces in distinctive fields—making it all the easier for our readers to find their dream jobs.”
To find the best places to work in the United States in 2015, OUTSIDE started by creating five company categories that reflect the magazine’s values and focus: Adventure/Travel, Wellness, Culture, Gear and Media. OUTSIDE then conducted a rigorous vetting process in partnership with the Best Companies Group to assess the policies, practices and demographics of hundreds of companies. OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work 2015 was driven by employee reviews of their workplaces, taking into account factors like corporate culture, role satisfaction, work environment and overall employee engagement. The Best Places to Work list represents the cream of the crop: companies that are empowering their employees to live bigger, better lives.
HDC was first named to OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work list in 2012. This year, the agency was ranked 51st out of 100 companies and is the only Milwaukee-based company on the list. HDC's in-house cafe and gym are highlighted in OUTSIDE's article, The 100 Best Places to Work in 2015.
