Bluco Recognized With Award for Outstanding Workplace
Bluco was recongnized as a winner of the National Association for Business Resources’ Best and Brightest Companies to Work For competition, which honors companies that deliver exceptional human resource practices and outstanding commitment to their employees.
Bluco Corporation, Chicago-based designers and manufacturers of modular fixturing solutions for welding, machining, robotics and positioning, was recently recognized as a winner of the National Association for Business Resources’ (NABR) Best and Brightest Companies to Work For competition. The competition identifies and honors companies that deliver exceptional human resource practices and outstanding commitment to their employees.
The NABR states that “Best and Brightest winners are the companies and organizations who push operational standards forward, foster constructive environments and display a commitment to their team members and community.” Bluco was recognized for its success in these areas based on its culture, employee benefits, HR practices and charity efforts.
Bluco also scored high marks for its generous compensation and benefits packages, charitable efforts (through the Bluco Cares Foundation) and its Supported Employment Program, which offers employment opportunities for qualified individuals with special needs.
News of the award was shared with Bluco’s team at its last quarterly meeting. “There were definitely a few tears shed that night,” says Maggy Pagone, Bluco’s HR representative. “Having the chance to share news of an award like this with this group of people is something I hope I’ll get to do again and again.” This was Bluco’s first time entering the Best and Brightest competition. It was one of 140 Chicago-area companies announced as winners this year.
