The “Best Places to Work” awards program is a commissioned study by WDI. The purpose of the program is to recognize some of the best employers in our local area (Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, and Wabasha counties) and provide vital information to companies to help them attract and retain employees.

Olmsted County was analyzed based on a wide variety of employment practices and measures, like benefits offered, training expenditures, and pay increases.
