Wauwatosa, Wis. — 5/7/2018 — WaterStone Bank is proud to announce that it has been awarded a 2018 Top Workplaces honor by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. This is the ninth consecutive year WaterStone Bank has been named a top place to work in Southeastern Wisconsin. To learn more about WaterStone Bank’s work/life benefits and career opportunities, please visit the WaterStone Bank Careers page.

“We are proud to be named a Top Workplace each year since its inception in 2010. Employees that enjoy their work, and workplace, provide exceptional customer service and financial results that benefit our communities,” said Doug Gordon, WaterStone Bank President and CEO.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel partners with Energage, formerly known as WorkplaceDynamics, to compile its list from employee surveys. Each survey is composed of statements about an employee’s workplace, such as “New ideas are encouraged at this company.” Once the results are analyzed, workplaces are ranked based on employees’ feedback.

“Top Workplaces leaders know that creating a workplace culture where employees are highly engaged is a competitive advantage,” says Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “Recognition and bragging rights aside, employee engagement translates into stronger retention, higher productivity, and better performance. But employee engagement is the outcome of a healthy workplace culture. In today’s business environment, culture distinguishes the world’s most valuable companies. It’s where value is created or destroyed.”
