“Receiving this award for the second consecutive year is especially meaningful given nearly all of our staff has been working remotely since March of 2020,” said Dave Kijek, CEO of WEA Member Benefits.

WEA Member Benefits has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2021 honor by The Wisconsin State Journal. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

“For more than a decade, the Top Workplaces award has helped organizations stand out among their competitors to attract talent,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “This differentiation is more important than ever in today’s tight labor market. Establishing a continuous conversation with employees so you have a deep understanding of your unique culture is proven to help achieve higher referral rates, lower employee turnover, and double the employee engagement levels. No longer is recognition simply a much-deserved cause for celebration, but it’s fast becoming mission-critical to establish a competitive advantage for recruitment and retention.”

“Receiving this award for the second consecutive year is especially meaningful given nearly all of our staff has been working remotely since March of 2020. Like everything in our lives, the pandemic also impacted our corporate culture and has required us to modify the way we engage with our teams,” said Dave Kijek, CEO of WEA Member Benefits.

With its comprehensive benefits package, paid volunteer time off, and training opportunities, Member Benefits’ work environment and company culture is built for their employees to continue to grow, learn, and thrive for years to come.

“At Member Benefits, we place an extremely high value on our employees and make them our top priority, whether we engage virtually or in person,” said Kijek. “We strongly believe that when employees feel respected and cared for, their level of engagement and job satisfaction goes up. A happy team is more productive and committed, and that translates to providing our members with the exceptional service they deserve.”
