City of Dubuque Named a Best-in-Class
Employer
Jan. 30, 2023
The City of Dubuque was recently recognized as a top organization for providing
innovative solutions to create organizational structures, workplace policies, and total
rewards, which inclusively engage and motivate its employees.
Gallagher's Best-in-Class awards recognize employers that excel in supporting their
employees' physical, emotional, career and financial wellbeing for better organizational
outcomes. The City of Dubuque scored in the top 12.5% of the more than 4,000 large and
midsize employers who participated in Gallagher's 2022 Benefits Strategy &
Benchmarking Survey.
"Achieving this acknowledgment was an organizational effort, not just one department,"
said City of Dubuque Human Resources Director Shelley Stickfort. "Given the unique and
extraordinary challenges and opportunities we have faced the last several years, this
objective recognition shows that the efforts by the entire human resources team and the
various employee committees and resources have been very worthwhile in support of our
greatest asset, the City's human capital."
Stickfort said the City takes a proactive and structured approach to planning, developing,
and implementing comprehensive benefits and human resource programs to retain and
attract employees.
