This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Illinois, benefiting the state's economy, workforce and businesses.

The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation.

The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

“It is an honor to be selected as one of the top 100 Best Places to Work in Illinois 2020. I would like to thank the employees of Wabash General Hospital for taking the time to complete the survey.
