CG Schmidt Recognized as a Top Workplace in Madison

Madison, WI — CG Schmidt has been recognized as a top regional employer, winning a 2023 Madison Area Top Workplaces Award from The Wisconsin State Journal.

The heart of the Top Workplaces award is the employee survey process. A 24-question survey is administered to employees, who decide whether a company culture merits commendation.

Focused on employee satisfaction, the company has volunteer time off and a wellness program used by 85% of professional staff. It also offers generous time off for work-life balance.

CG Schmidt is committed to maintaining the qualities that designated the organization a top workplace. The firm was also recognized with a Top Workplaces USA award, which further demonstrates CG Schmidt’s commitment to prioritizing a people-centered culture. In addition, the corporate office has been a 13-time honoree of the Top Workplaces award by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
