Mid-West Moving & Storage has been named as one of the Best Places to Work in Illinois for 2024, ranking number 6 out of 30 small companies in the state. This prestigious award recognizes businesses that prioritize their employees’ well-being and satisfaction, benefiting the economy and workforce of Illinois. The awards program began in 2006 and is promoted by The Daily Herald Suburban Business.
Businesses statewide participated in a two-phase assessment to identify the top workplaces in Illinois. Initially, they underwent an inquiry regarding their workplace policies, practices, and employee demographics. Next, employees took part in a survey to gauge their overall work experience. The entire registration and survey process, including data analysis and final rankings, was overseen by Workforce Research Group.
“I am truly honored to receive this award as it is something I have always strived for during my 40 years in business.” Says Kevin Reinhardt, COO. “I want to thank my team; I could never have done this without them. I always try to offer a good quality service where people have belief and trust in me, and it is truly an honor to be recognized for that.”
