The positive feedback from our associates as part of this program highlights our efforts to support their professional development and make Littelfuse a great place to work,” said Gordon Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of Littelfuse. “We appreciate all our associates do for our company, our customers and their co-workers.”

The program is promoted by the Daily Herald Business Ledger in partnership with the Human Resources Management Association of Chicago (HRMAC), the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, the Workforce Boards of Metropolitan Chicago, MRA – The Management Association, the Greater Oak Brook Chamber of Commerce and Best Companies Group.

The 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 second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. Best Companies Group managed the process, analyzed the data and used its expertise to determine the final rankings.
