MichiganLabs among INC. MAGAZINE’S BEST WORKPLACES 2020

[GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN] (May 6, 2020) – Michigan Software Labs has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual list of the Best Workplaces for 2020. Hitting newsstands May 12 in the May/June 2020 issue, and as part of a prominent Inc.com feature, the list is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits.

Collecting data from more than 3,000 submissions, Inc. singled out 395 finalists for this year’s list. This is the second year in a row Michigan Software Labs has won this award from Inc. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data. Then Inc. ranked all the employers using a composite score of survey results.

“We are very honored to have earned this nationwide award again from Inc.,” said Josh Hulst, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of MichiganLabs. “We have an outstanding team; this is really about recognizing their efforts.”

The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work. These companies are leading the way in employee recognition, performance management, and diversity.

“Building a great corporate culture comes only from strong leadership,” says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The companies on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from, especially now, when company culture is more important to the workforce than ever.”
