May 12, 2009

Lockton Chicago has once again been named one of the Best Places to Work in Illinois, an award program created in 2006 and is a project of The Business Ledger, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the Illinois State Council, the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, the Workforce Boards of Metropolitan Chicago, the Human Resources Management Association of Chicago (HRMAC) and Best Companies Group.

The 2009 Best Places to Work in Illinois list is made up of 20 companies in the small/medium-sized list (15-249 employees) and 10 companies in the large-sized list (250+ employees).

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Illinois. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. An employee survey measured the employee experience, worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation.

The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Illinois and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

Lockton has become the 10th largest insurance broker in the world. It was founded by Jack Lockton in Kansas City, Mo., in 1966.
