Olmsted County named one of southeast Minnesota's Best Places to Work!

Workforce Development, Inc. (WDI), in partnership with the Workforce Development Boards of Southeast Minnesota and Winona, are thrilled to announce the unveiling of the “Best Places to Work” in Southeast Minnesota. Now in its 15th year, this respected regional initiative celebrates companies that go above and beyond in cultivating exceptional workplace cultures throughout Southeast Minnesota.

After a thorough evaluation process led by national consulting firm Personnel Dynamics, fifteen standout companies earned the distinction of being among the Best Places to Work across our region’s eleven counties — Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, and Winona. These businesses have made meaningful investments in their people, championed inclusive and engaging work environments, and continue to lead with innovation, purpose, and care. 

Olmsted County has worked very hard to receive this award in 2023, 2024, and 2025!
