The Bubbler Awards is an example of how YPWeek Wisconsin highlights the young professional voice. Additionally, the nomination and selection process establish a framework for existing and emerging young professionals throughout the state to collaborate and brand Wisconsin as a workplace destination for Millennials. The nomination evaluation centered on what Millennials are looking for in today’s workplace including: competitive salary and benefits, opportunity for advancement and employee and community engagement.
“The Bubbler Awards shine a light on the companies who have made great strides to accommodate the interests and needs of a new and shifting workforce,” explains Angela Damiani, CEO of NEWaukee. “A lot of attention is paid to the picture of Millennials as discontent or disinterested in traditional forms of employment. We are eager to showcase the reality of how many Wisconsin-based companies are allowing young professionals to call this state home.”
The Bubbler Awards Ceremony will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2016 as the launch of the fifth annual YPWeek at the Platinum Flight Center of the Appleton International Airport in Appleton, WI. For more information about the Bubbler Awards and YPWeek Wisconsin, please visit: www.ypweek.com.
