Companies named Best Places to Work in Illinois

The Daily Herald Business Ledger has announced the rankings of 69 companies in three categories of competition that are being honored as the 2021 Best Places to Work in Illinois.

This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Illinois, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2021 Best Places to Work in Illinois list is comprised of 35 companies in the small employer size (15-99 U.S. employees), 22 companies in the medium-sized list (100-499 U.S. employees) and 12 companies in the large-category (over 500 employees).

In addition, the top companies representing the Best Places to Work for Women, Millennials, and Hispanics have been announced.

The 69 companies were recognized and honored virtually at the Best Places to Work in Illinois Virtual Recognition Webcast coordinated by the Daily Herald Business Ledger and sponsored by HR Source on May 13.

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Illinois. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. Best Companies Group of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and used its expertise to determine the final rankings.
