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.


“Workplace awards based on associate feedback mean a lot to us because we take pride in fostering an inclusive environment grounded in respect and empowerment, and we are honored to be recognized among the top companies in the area,” said Deirdre Drake, executive vice president and chief people officer at UScellular. “There is world-class talent here in Chicago, and we have a diverse group of associates who are experts in their chosen field who all come together to ensure that our customers have a great wireless experience.”
