BizStream Named Crain’s 2021 Cool Place to Work in Michigan

BizStream is named Crain’s 2021 Cool Place to Work in Michigan!

BizStream was recently named one of the 2021 Cool Places to Work in Michigan, as recognized by Crain’s Detroit Business and Best Companies Group. BizStream placed 43rd overall for its continued prioritization of our team members’ mental and physical health, educational growth, and team building while navigating the ongoing pandemic.

This statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best places of employment in Michigan, benefiting the state’s economy, workforce, and businesses. The 2021 Cool Places to Work in Michigan list is made up of 100 companies in three size categories: small (15-49 U.S. employees), medium (50-249 U.S. employees), and large (250+ U.S. employees).

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Cool Places to Work in Michigan. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the workplace culture, company leadership, and other aspects of work in a confidential, 77-question questionnaire.  This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. 

There are plenty of companies that provide great perks and a fun atmosphere. The difference at BizStream is that those things don't exist just for recruiting or for show. Instead, BizStream truly cares about creating a place where the employees come first, and everyone has an authentic voice in how we operate and the direction we take

BizStream was selected in part due to its commitment to its employees’ well-being. Some benefits include:   

  • 100% of employees’ and dependents’ health and dental insurance premiums are covered.
  • A “You Do You” budget. This perk gives each team member $200 every two years to spend on their choice of workspace upgrades. 
  • CrossFit membership and gym stipends
  • 33 days of paid time off
  • Covering team member’s (and spouse’s) phone plans
  • Flexible schedules
  • Fun company events
