Kalamazoo, MI – WSI (Workforce Strategies, Inc.) has been selected by 269 MAGAZINE as one of Southwest Michigan’s Wonderful Workplaces. This award celebrates the outstanding efforts made by local businesses in the region to make their organizations great places to work. Winners are recognized in the Holiday 2018 issue of 269 MAGAZINE.

“When it comes to doing what’s best for your team today, the most important thing you can do as a leader is this: Ask your team what they want. The organizations that take the time to do this, and are willing to continually adapt, are the ones attracting the best talent,” said Ron Kitchens, publisher of 269 MAGAZINE. “Thankfully, all over Southwest Michigan, there are incredible workplaces that are home to even more impressive teams. We are pleased to honor those we identified as the best-of-the-best.”

WSI was chosen as one of Southwest Michigan’s Wonderful Workplaces thanks in part to their volunteerism that keeps them connected to the community it serves. “We’re committed to building a better community in and out of the office,” said Lauren Rogalski, manager of corporate culture at WSI. “Our services come full circle, so the more that we can help nonprofits and organizations that are giving back to the people in our communities, the better off we all are.”
