Putting employees first

Employees are the lifeblood of a business. This year’s Top 10 Businesses of the Year emphasized time and again the importance of cherishing and rewarding their workforce.

The annual Top 10 Businesses of the Year Awards, presented by the Waukesha County Business Alliance in partnership with BizTimes Media, honor 10 outstanding businesses in southeastern Wisconsin. Winners are selected by an independent panel of judges based upon financial growth, customer focus, a history of outstanding employee relations and a commitment to the community. They were honored at the awards luncheon and featured in the print and online editions of BizTimes Milwaukee. The #1 Business of the Year was announced at the luncheon, held June 9 at the Country Springs Hotel in Waukesha.
