CHICAGO, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bluedog Design has become a stand out as an innovative brand and growth consultancy for the country's top consumer packaged goods brands, but it is the company's innovative intention on culture, and employee-forward approach, that puts it in the top 1% on Crain's Chicago Business' list of Best Places to Work in Chicago 2019. This is the second year Bluedog has made the list and was also named one of the Top 10 Best Small Businesses in Chicago.
"Creating a culture that empowers, supports, shapes and provides for employees requires intention," says Michelle Hayward, CEO and Co-founder of Bluedog Design. "We truly appreciate our key stakeholders – our employees – and the value they create and build into the organization, and our clients' success in the marketplace. We're thrilled to be recognized again by Crain's Chicago Business as one of the Best Places to Work in Chicago. We've taken a lot of care to purposefully create a culture that treats our employees with the same value and concern that we would our next invention."
Bluedog's unique approach to culture is helping the growing company attract top talent from around the country to help solve its client's toughest challenges and provide clarity for growth. Through a number of services such as health & wellness, a Concierge to take the stress away of basic errands like dry cleaning, the Bluedog Bodega which is open all day to provide fuel and energy, a parenting expert, Curiosity U – funded learning, Organizational Navigation Tools, inspirational sabbaticals and one-of-a-kind employee engagement tool, Bluedog proves that investing in employees works.
"The Bluedog leadership team believes that we are in service to our employees, and our culture," said Hayward. "Our job is to empower, support, shape and provide. When we do our job well, there's a palpable response of positivity and commitment to the organization, the work and its clients."
To generate this prestigious list, Crain's partnered with Best Companies Group to survey 14,000 Chicago employees about everything from their workplace and benefits to company culture. This survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the 100 best companies to work for in Chicago.
To be considered for participation, companies had to:
- Be a publicly or privately held business
- Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business, or government entity
- Have a facility in the Chicago area (including the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake in Illinois, Lake in Indiana, McHenry and Will)
- Have a minimum of 25 full-time or part-time employees working in Chicago
- Have been in business a minimum of one year
Determining the Best Places to Work in Chicago involved a two-step process. The first step consisted of evaluating each participating company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. This part was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the best companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, and also analyzed the data and used its expertise to determine the final ranking.
