Great Workplaces in Minnesota honors some of the state’s most outstanding employers—workplaces that, data show, exemplify a people-first approach. The organizations on this list are notable not only for what they accomplish but for how they operate.
Behind the recognition is a rigorous evaluation process. Great Workplaces in Minnesota is a collaborative program of Best Companies Group, the Minnesota Society of Human Resource Management, and Twin Cities Business. Participation is open to all publicly and privately held for-profit, nonprofit, and government entities operating in the state. Eligible organizations must have at least 15 employees in Minnesota, an in-state facility, and at least one year of operations.
