Chicago Tribune Names Northwestern Mutual – Chicago a Top Workplace

CHICAGO - Jan. 31, 2017 - PRLog -- 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, all contributed to Northwestern Mutual – Chicago being named a Top Workplace for 2016.  In its engagement survey of more than 245 companies in the Chicago area Workplace Dynamics, a workplace survey and improvement specialist, measured aspects of the workplace including alignment, connection and purpose. The results, showing Northwestern Mutual – Chicago as the eighth Top Workplace, was published in the Chicago Tribune's Chicago Top Workplaces special edition.

"This honor is especially important to us because we strive every day to create a firm culture where people are inspired to reach their full potential and make a positive impact on their clients, colleagues and community," said Corey D. McQuade, Managing Partner. "To know our team members feel the work they do is important, and that they feel connected, engaged and valued, is the best form of recognition."
