As noted by Madison Magazine, at Cascade “trust and management go hand in hand, particularly in terms of transparency. Effective managers are open and accessible, and they model the work ethic they expect of their own employees.”

Winners of the 2008 "Best Places to Work" recognition were selected through an extensive assessment process. Next Generation Consulting developed an employee-engagement framework where employees were surveyed in six areas of engagement, including trust, management, development, rewards, connection and life-work balance. This year’s winners were chosen because they ranked the highest, over 85 percent, in all six dimensions of employee engagement.

Cascade shares this year’s honor with six other Madison-area companies, including HospiceCare Inc.,Wollersheim Winery, Steve Brown Apartments, Creative Marketing Specialists, Physicians Plus Insurance and Rejuvination Spa.
