On May 8, Sheridan Community Schools was part of the celebration of Hoosier organizations prioritizing internal cultures that bolster their workforces and companies.
The Indiana Chamber of Commerce honored a record 193 employers from throughout the state at the 2024 Best Places to Work in Indiana Awards Dinner, presented by trueU, which was held in Indianapolis at the Indiana Convention Center. Sheridan Schools was proudly represented at the event by Dr. Dave Mundy, Lacey Truex, Lindsey Martin, Valerie Love, Lisa Samuels, Ali Kiser, Madeline Sweger, and Katy Gould.
Honorees and rankings were determined through employer reports and a comprehensive, anonymous employee survey. The Workforce Research Group handled the selection process.
“The theme of this year’s program was ‘Show Off Your Superpower,’ and these winning organizations are definitely ‘super’ in the ways in which they enhance the lives of their employees,” Indiana Chamber President and CEO Vanessa Green Sinders said. “The fun staff events, terrific benefits and benevolent efforts to improve their communities are just some of the ways these leading businesses are setting examples for workplace culture.”
All companies that participated in the 2024 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses according to their employees. In turn, this report can be used in developing or enhancing employee retention and recruitment programs. 2024 marked the 19th year for Best Places to Work in Indiana. Sheridan Community Schools has been fortunate to have made the list four separate times.
In addition to the awards, winners will be recognized via a special section of the Indiana Chamber’s BizVoice magazine and through Inside INdiana Business, a Division of IBJ Media – both of which reach statewide audiences. Additional program partners are HR Indiana SHRM, Indiana Department of Workforce Development, Institute for Workforce Excellence, Wellness Council of Indiana, and Workforce Research Group.
More information about the Best Places to Work honorees is available via the current edition of BizVoice magazine, available online at bizvoicemagazine.com.
Superintendent Dave Mundy praised the Sheridan team.
“Sheridan Schools is a great place to work because of our tremendous staff and community,” Mundy said. “We appreciate this honor as recognition of the fantastic family atmosphere we have here.”
