Cress Voted “Best Place to Work”

Jul 05, 2008

“Twenty five companies rose to the top of The Madison Magazine’s annual survey conducted by Quantum Workplace.”

Cress Funeral & Cremation Service # 1

They measured six key engagement categories:

Communication and Resources

Individual Needs

Manager Effectiveness

Personal Engagement

Team Dynamics

Trust In Leadership

Cress Funeral & Cremation Service scored highest for medium sized companies in Dane County, 51-100 employees. It all started with being nominated by an employee, Kevin Collopy, and culminated with all employees sharing their views and perspectives on how the Cress workplace inspires them to do their best in serving the families in their care.

We are proud to pause and celebrate this special moment in our history as a family business, serving the Dane County communities and neighborhoods at the difficult time of a loss. The Cress Family
