Chicago Tribune Names U.S. Cellular a Winner of the Chicago 2016 Top Workplaces Award
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- U.S. Cellular®, a full-service wireless carrier that offers a wide range of communication services, has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by the Chicago Tribune. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.
“We have a unique company culture at U.S. Cellular, and our core values of customer focus, respect, ethics, pride, empowerment, diversity and winning aren’t just talked about, they’re lived out,” said Kenneth R. Meyers, president and chief executive officer at U.S. Cellular. “Every associate focuses on providing the world’s best experience for our customers, and we are honored and fortunate to have access to a diverse and skilled workforce in Chicago to ensure that we can live up to the standards we have set for ourselves.”
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.” Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
Chicago is home to U.S. Cellular’s corporate headquarters, and it has more than 1,000 associates in the Chicagoland area. The company was also named one of America’s Best Large Employers in 2015 and 2016 by Forbes. To learn more about working at U.S. Cellular, visit www.uscellular.jobs.
