KALAMAZOO, Mich., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The National Association for Business Resources has released its list of Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation for 2023, with Zeigler Auto Group among its national winners, earning its fifth consecutive award from the world-renowned organization since 2019.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to see our Zeigler team achieve five consecutive wins on a national level from this prestigious award program. I would like to take this moment to thank our entire team; without the talent and work-ethic of every single person at Zeigler Auto Group, this recognition would not be possible.

Winners for the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation are selected by an independent organization that reviews key metrics such as communication, work-life balance, employee dedication, diversity, recognition, retention and more.

"Our teams across Zeigler Auto Group work hard on a continuous basis to provide a world-class culture for each other as well as our customers. This doesn't happen by accident. It's intentional and deliberate. We all take responsibility in our culture. I couldn't be happier for our teams on this prestigious award and to be a five-time recipient! Congratulations to our team members!" said Mike Van Ryn, director of talent development at Zeigler Auto Group.
All 2023 companies that will be selected to be recognized nationally as a Best and Brightest Company to Work For® will be featured in the online edition of Corp! Magazine and in the Wall Street Journal.
