DETROIT, MI  Sachse Construction, a Detroit, Michigan, -based national commercial construction company, was the sole recipient of the Elite Award presented by Metropolitan Detroit's 101 Best & Brightest Companies to Work For. With more than 500 applicants, only 101 companies were honored as a best place to work, and Sachse Construction received their highest annual award.

"It's an honor to receive such a prestigious award, while also representing the AEC industry," said Todd Sachse, CEO & Founder of Sachse Construction. "Typically when people think of our industry they don't associate it with the unique workplace perks you would find at startup companies. At Sachse Construction, we strive to change that. We empower our team members to do the right thing, and that starts with ensuring we provide a place where employees feel like they are part of a family that works hard and plays hard."

Sachse Construction was recognized for their innovative incentives, which includes a four-week sabbatical after 10 years of employment, unlimited paid time off, on-site training, tuition reimbursement, and monthly company events.

"We're obsessed with our team members,"said Sachse. "We know that when we take care of our people, the clients, jobs, and everything else will follow."

The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For competition identifies and honors organizations that display a commitment to excellence in their human resource practices and employee enrichment. Organizations are assessed based on categories such as communication, work-life balance, employee education, diversity, recognition, retention and more.
