Greendale Schools Named Top Workplace

GREENDALE, WI -- Greendale Schools has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. This is the second consecutive year the District has earned this award.

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Workplace Dynamics, 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.

“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.”

“We are honored to be included on this list of Top Workplaces,” said Dr. Gary Kiltz, superintendent of Greendale Schools. “Greendale Schools’ team is dedicated to providing the best learning opportunities for students. Every person who works here plays an important role in educating our students. We are grateful for each individual’s unique contributions. It’s great teamwork and a culture of excellence that makes Greendale’s schools a great place to work and learn.”
