For the fifth consecutive year, Pulse Technology, a technology company serving the IT, Managed Print Services and other needs of businesses throughout the Midwest and beyond, has been named as one of the Best Workplaces in Illinois. The awards program, which began in 2006, is a survey and analysis managed by Best Companies, sponsored by the Illinois Society of Human Resource Management (SHRMJ) and conducted by media partner Daily Herald.
Pulse Technology has been selected for this award in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Illinois, benefiting the state’s economy, workforce and businesses.
Companies from across the state entered a two-part process to determine the Best Workplaces in Illinois. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
The Best Workplaces in Illinois rankings were released and the winners’ successes celebrated at the 2025 Illinois SHRM State Conference on Tuesday, April 1. Jackie Miller, Senior Program Business Partner for Best Companies Group, said, “Thank you to Pulse Technology for your participation. On behalf of Illinois SHRM and Best Companies Group, congratulations!”
Chip Miceli, CEO of Pulse Technology, said, “We’re pleased to have been chosen by The Daily Herald and Best Companies Group and the Illinois SHRM for this recognition. It’s an honor to have been selected for five years in a row. We have a strong, positive workplace culture, and a team of people who are the best in the industry. We appreciate their feedback on the survey which made out selection possible. We thank the Daily Herald and its partners for their continuing advocacy and we congratulate the other companies who have also been selected.”
