Milwaukee, WI-Wipfli LLP (Wipfli) has been named one of the best places to work in southeastern Wisconsin by The Business Journal. The Business Journal's annual Beyond the Paycheck Award recognizes companies that go above and beyond for their employees. Wipfli is being honored in the category of flexibility.

One of Wipfli's core business philosophies is to help its employees balance their personal and professional lives. To make this philosophy a reality, Wipfli offers an alternative work schedule program to employees who require a flexible work schedule. The program's success can be attributed to commitment from firm leadership, support from coworkers, and availability of tools that allow employees to work remotely.

According to Donna Staples, director of human resources, "The key to making alternative work arrangements successful is to make sure that everyone is committed to the program. Everyone needs to be flexible. With understanding and support from peers and firm leadership, a program like ours works really well."

Wipfli was featured in the August 15, 2003, issue of The Business Journal and was honored at the August 18, 2003, Beyond the Paycheck awards luncheon held at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center.
