Viking Masek named a 2023 Top Workplace by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Viking Masek has been awarded a 2023 Top Workplaces honor by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for the third year in a row.

This is the fourteenth year that the Journal Sentinel has published their list of top workplaces, and the third consecutive year that Viking Masek has participated and been awarded.

The Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner, Energage. The survey measures 15 unique culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization.

Viking Masek’s overall survey results were 8% higher than the benchmark. 

“There are a lot of unknowns in the world today and so many things we can’t control, but as evidenced by this award, we are stronger than ever within the walls of Viking Masek. We build trust-based leadership at all levels. In doing so we do not cower in the face of changes and challenges. We thrive on it and overcome it as a team,” comments Robb Leonhard, Viking Masek President, and co-owner. 

Why we made the list:

Viking Masek employees that were hired more than 10 years ago scored well above expectations in the following areas:

• Feeling genuinely appreciated
• Believing in Viking Masek Packaging Technologies’ direction
• Managers caring about concerns

Employees who were hired less than a year ago scored above expectations in the following areas:

• Doing things effectively or well
• Feeling a part of something meaningful
• Enabled to work at full potential

A word from our leaders:

“Being chosen for this award three years in a row is an honor.  We continue to reach for the stars and no one person gets credit for this rather all of our employees get credit for this.  They work tirelessly to achieve our goals and work together as a team to accomplish greatness.  Thanks to all of them and their hard work for making this happen!” Scott Miller, VP of Business Development and Co-Owner.

“Being named Top Workplace for the third year in a row is truly a testament to our team’s discipline and commitment to our culture. Credit goes to all of our employees who treat their colleagues with respect, professionalism, and courtesy to ensure a positive and enjoyable workplace. Even during times of adversity, our team works hard to remain strong and vibrant. As we look to the future, our greatest assets remain our employees and customers.” COO, Ty Weinhold.

“We have been very blessed to be able to attract amazing people.  In return, these same people make it a great place to work.” RC Huhn, CFO and Co-Owner.
