Wiley Education Services Named One of 2018's Best Places to Work in Illinois
OAK BROOK, Ill. (PRWEB) May 21, 2018 -- Wiley Education Services has been named as one of the 2018 Best Places to Work in Illinois. The award, which dates back to 2006, was designed to identify and honor the best places of employment in Illinois, as well as to recognize the benefits to the state's economy, workforce, and businesses. The awards program is promoted by The Daily Herald Business Ledger in partnership with the Human Resources Management Association of Chicago (HRMAC), the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, MRA-The Management Association, the Small Business Advocacy Council, and Best Companies Group.
Wiley Education Services delivers effective strategic consulting, program development, and institution-wide services to help higher education partners achieve success in a highly competitive market. Our office in Oak Brook, Illinois, is home to 184 employees who share an enduring passion for learning and pride in their work. The company is backed by the history and resources of Wiley, a global leader in education for over 200 years, and constitutes a core part of the business.
The 2018 Best Places to Work in Illinois list consists of 30 companies in the small employer category (15-99 U.S. employees), 24 companies in the medium employer category (100-499 U.S. employees), and 21 companies in the large employer category (500 or more U.S. employees). Wiley falls under the large employer category.
To be considered for participation, companies had to:
• Have at least 15 employees working in Illinois
• Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity
• Be a publicly or privately held business
• Have a facility in the state of Illinois
• Be in business a minimum of one year
The process of determining the Best Places to Work in Illinois consisted of two parts. The first part involved evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics, which accounted for approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure employees’ experiences and impressions, which was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Illinois and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
“We are very proud to once again be named one of the Best Places to Work in Illinois,” said Katie Zapata, Vice President of Operations at Wiley Education Services. “We work hard to make our employees not only feel challenged and fulfilled in their jobs but valued. This designation will help us continue to attract high-quality talent to further our company’s mission and drive innovation in higher education.”
