Three Michigan companies earn spot on national
“100 Best Companies to Work for” list
Three of the 100 best companies
to work for in the United States are right here in Michigan, according to Fortune magazine in its 16th annual
survey of top-rated workplaces in the United States.
Quicken Loans, Plante Moran and Stryker are featured in Fortune’s “Top 100 Best Companies to Work for” list, the
magazine’s benchmark study, the most extensive employee survey in corporate
America.
“These three world-class
companies – Quicken, Plante Moran and Stryker – are great employers in our
state and have clearly earned their place on this list,” said Gov. Rick Snyder.
“We applaud their corporate leadership in workplace satisfaction and as
stewards of our state’s business culture. These companies demonstrate what
makes Michigan a great place for growing businesses and our continued efforts
for more and better jobs.”
About the companies: | Plante Moran, Southfield –
Plante Moran, one of the nation’s largest certified public accounting and
business advisory firms, came in at no. 25. Plante Moran provides its staff
with volunteer opportunities that increase the well-being of individuals in
their communities, giving employees a sense of accomplishment through
contributions of time and talent. This is the 15th consecutive year Plante
Moran has been named to Fortune’s list. |
Stryker, Kalamazoo –
Stryker is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies. According
to Fortune, Stryker is a great place to work because it keeps things light by
offering Ping-Pong tables on-site and having "pie-your-manager"
competitions. Coming in at no. 61, Stryker has earned a spot on the Fortune
list for three consecutive years.
Fortune’s survey looks at attitudes about management's
credibility, job satisfaction and camaraderie. It also includes detailed
questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions
about hiring practices, methods of internal communication, training,
recognition programs, and diversity efforts.
To choose the top 100
companies, Fortune partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to
conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. This year’s
survey looked at 259 companies and included responses from more than 277,000
employees.
Any company that is at least
five years old and has more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible. The
deadline for applying for next year's list is July 1, 2013. For an online
nomination form, visit the Great Place to Work Institute.

Here is a list of some great companies to work for in Rogers City: Carmeuse Lime and Stone (Rogers City Plant), Plath's Meats, Rogers City Rehab Hospital, Rogers City Area Schools, and--dare I say it--the City of Rogers City.
I wish the City could employ more workers because I think City jobs are good jobs, the workers are productive, and we do important work. However, the City must live within its means so that the community will be prosper for decades to come.
Of course, Moran Iron will be opening a Rogers City operation in the near future--they too are a company that has a reputation as a great employer.
If you feel I have left off a company in Rogers City that deserves recognition as a great place to work, please let me know.
