U.S. Cellular®, a full-service wireless carrier that offers a
wide range of communication services, has been awarded a 2016 Top
Workplaces honor by the Chicago Tribune. The Top Workplaces lists
are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey
administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm
that specializes in organizational health and workplace
improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured,
including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a
few.
“We have a unique company culture at U.S. Cellular, and our core
values of customer focus, respect, ethics, pride, empowerment,
diversity and winning aren’t just talked about, they’re lived out,”
said Kenneth R. Meyers, president and chief executive officer at
U.S. Cellular. “Every associate focuses on providing the world’s
best experience for our customers, and we are honored and fortunate
to have access to a diverse and skilled workforce in Chicago to
ensure that we can live up to the standards we have set for
ourselves.”
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And
oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,”
says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top
Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for
organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than
the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and
time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to
them is 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.” Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an
organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top
Workplace.”
Chicago is home to U.S. Cellular’s corporate headquarters, and
it has more than 1,000 associates in the Chicagoland area. The
company was also named one of America’s Best Large Employers in
2015 and 2016 by Forbes. To learn more about working at U.S.
