May 6, 2014 – ISG was honored by Workforce Development Inc., as one of the best places to work in Southeast Minnesota at the organization’s awards banquet in Rochester on April 24th. ISG was noted for their well-developed mentoring and wellness programs.
The Best Places to Work awards program was a commissioned study by Workforce Development Inc. The purpose of the program was to recognize some of the best employers in our local area and provide vital information to companies about the practices they use to attract and retain employees.
Each participating company was required to complete a 40-question survey that allowed their employment practices to be analyzed by the consulting firm of Personnel Dynamics Consulting of Florida. The data was measured on such parameters as: turnover, rate of growth, promotion rates, employee evaluations and feedback, percentage of employee injured, diversity of management, benefits offered, training expenditures, paid days off and increase in pay.
Every company participating in the survey will receive a detailed report specifying the information on their company, the results of the survey and suggestions on what their company can do to improve their workplace. Those companies who were recognized for their accomplishments received a special award at the Best Places To Work Awards Banquet.
This year marks an exciting milestone for ISG’s Des Moines, Iowa office as we celebrate a decade of dedication and service to our local community. Over the past ten years, our team has been privileged to contribute to numerous projects that have shaped the landscape and enhanced the quality of life for residents in Central Iowa.
ISG will host the second annual Future of Southern Minnesota Lakes Conference at the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center in Mankato, Minnesota. The conference will open on Friday evening, April 12, with a fireside chat featuring writer and host of the television show "Minnesota Bound," Ron Schara. The evening is an exclusive opportunity for conference attendees to share stories about Minnesota’s natural resources and learn from one another in a relaxed atmosphere.
