ISG Named to Milwaukee Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work” List

Brookfield, Wisconsin, September 12, 2025 – ISG, a leading multi-disciplinary professional services firm, has been recognized as one of the best places to work by the Milwaukee Business Journal for the second consecutive year. For over 50 years, ISG has delivered high-quality architecture, engineering, environmental, and planning services across the Midwest. Earning a place on the list reflects ISG’s dedication to building strong communities and cultivating a workplace culture rooted in collaboration and ownership.

“Making the Best Places to Work list reflects how our employees feel about being part of ISG,” said Lynn Bruns, CEO of ISG. “In a dynamic market like Milwaukee, where there is strong access to emerging talent but challenges in hiring experienced professionals, this recognition highlights that ISG is a place where people can succeed and grow.”

The firm’s local office reflects this culture. Designed to promote a collaborative studio environment, it inspires creativity, supports wellness, and encourages connection among colleagues. The space is also a hub for team gatherings and celebrations of shared achievements, creating moments that strengthen personal and professional bonds.

ISG’s structure is a 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which gives all employees a stake in the firm’s success. Professional development is equally valued. From one-on-one mentorship to performance coaching, employee owners are equipped with tools to grow both individually and as part of a collaborative team.

“It’s rewarding to receive recognition that reflects the pride and spirit of our Brookfield team,” said Chelsea Davis, ISG Office Leader. “We have a close-knit group of employee owners who support one another and are deeply invested in the communities we serve, with opportunities in Milwaukee being especially meaningful.”

Through the Impact Day program, local employee owners receive paid time off to volunteer with local organizations such as the Hunger Task Force, Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, Waukesha County Business Alliance, LAUNCH through the Elmbrook Education Foundation, and ACE Mentor Program. This program reinforces the firm’s mission to make a difference in the communities it serves.

This recognition by the Milwaukee Business Journal highlights ISG’s dedication to supporting an inclusive and inspiring workplace where employee owners thrive.
