FireKeepers Casino Hotel in Battle Creek, Michigan has been named the highest ranked gaming company to be named to Forbes’ annual list of America’s Best Mid-Size Employers 2021.
The prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc. and was compiled through a survey of 50,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. Participants were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family, and to nominate organizations other than their own. The final list ranks the 500 large and 500 midsize employers that received the most recommendations. FireKeepers ranked 63rd, and was the highest ranked casino.
“This acknowledgement recognizes FireKeepers’ focus on creating and maintaining a great work culture for our team members,” said Frank Tecumseh, VP of human resources for FireKeepers. “Our vision is to be the employer of choice, not only in Michigan, but also throughout the gaming industry.”
FireKeepers employs 1,802 team members and is one of the Battle Creek region’s leading employers. Since its 2009 opening, the company has paid out more than $700 million in salaries and benefits. FireKeepers offers regular incentive bonuses, Team Member Appreciation Days and rallies with prizes and drawings to celebrate and motivate the workforce.
