Detroit Free Press Top Workplace: Oakland Family Services ranks among top 20 midsize Michigan companies
Oakland Family Services is thrilled to announce it ranks 12th amongst midsize Michigan companies recognized as a Detroit Free Press Top Workplace!!
The agency, which came in at No. 28 last year, has been named as one of Michigan’s Top Workplaces for seven consecutive years and is one of only two nonprofit family agencies to be ranked in the top 20 this year. A total of 150 companies were named 2020 Detroit Free Press Top Workplaces.
“This award, and our improvement, is recognition of the staff’s ongoing commitment to our mission and living and embracing our culture,” Oakland Family Services President & CEO Jaimie Clayton said. “This award is additionally special as it is based on our staff’s responses benchmarked against like-sized companies and agencies, including both for profit and non-profit. I am so honored and proud to work with every member of our staff.”
Top Workplace rankings are determined based on employee feedback to a survey that focuses on workplace culture, pay, benefits, leadership, and what employees like or dislike about their jobs. Oakland Family Services is ranked among companies with 150-499 Michigan employees.
"The Top Workplace survey seeks honest feedback from our employees," said Vice President of Employee Engagement and Organizational Development Julie Mison. "By participating in this survey process and winning Top Workplace, Oakland Family Services not only gives current employees a voice regarding what they love about their jobs, it gives them a venue to share what improvements could be made. One of the most important aspects of the survey is related to workplace culture and employee engagement. Though 2020 has been difficult for all workplaces with the impact of the pandemic, we worked even harder this year to help staff feel engaged in our culture and know that the work they do makes a difference, and to show them that they are supported and recognized, even though many of us are working remotely. We know all of this is pivotal to attracting talent, impacting happiness and job satisfaction and increasing performance.”
The survey is distributed by Energage, a Philadelphia-based employee research and culture technology firm that performs Top Workplace surveys across the United States and analyzes results to determine companies’ rankings.
