“Being recognized as an OUTSIDE Magazine Top Work Place for six years in a row stands as a testament to our people and the kind of workplace culture they’re building,” shares founder Tim Dodge. “OUTSIDE's recognition confirms that awesome work environments aren't limited to Boulder, Portland and Austin. Milwaukee is a great place to foster a work/life balance that encourages a healthy, active lifestyle and an energized work environment."
OUTSIDE, America’s preeminent active and adventure lifestyle brand, searches across the US for the top 100 companies that respect the environment and encourage employees to balance between work and enjoying life in the great outdoors.
OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work list of 2017 was driven by employee reviews of their work environment, corporate culture, role satisfaction and overall employee engagement.
“The winning companies are those that value productivity in combination with an active, eco-conscious lifestyle, for a fulfilling experience inside and outside the office,” offers Jonah Ogles, Articles Editor at OUTSIDE Magazine.
OUTSIDE uses five company categories that reflect its values and focus during its search for the best companies in the U.S. These categories include Adventure & Travel, Gear, Advertising, Culture and Health & Wellness.
“Companies from across the country entered a rigorous two-part survey process to make the winning list,” said Ogles. “The Best Companies Group evaluates each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. There’s also an employee survey to measure personal experience.”
