For the second consecutive year, Valley Oak Financial is excited to announce that we have been named one of West Michigan’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For by the Michigan Business & Professional Association. Winners of the award practice innovative strategies and represent best practices in human resources.

Each nominated company is evaluated based on key measures in various categories, including: communication, community initiatives, compensation and benefits, diversity and multiculturalism, employee education and development, employee engagement and commitment, recognition and retention, recruitment and selection, small business and work-life balance.

According to Jennifer Kluge, chief operating officer and executive vice president of the Michigan Business & Professional Association, “The selection, recognition, and awarding of this year’s 101 companies allows our organization to showcase their best practices. The honorees have clearly demonstrated why each of them would be an ideal place for employees to work. Companies that capitalize on their greatest resource—their employees—know how to attract and retain top talent.”
