Go Team! DFP Top Workplace Winner

Special Tree is delighted to earn another spot on the Detroit Free Press 2015 Top Workplaces list for the
sixth straight year.

The list, published in a special section of the Freep on November 22, 2015, recognizes the top 100 Michigan
companies and is based entirely on how employees feel about their workplace. Special Tree staff members
were among thousands of employees in Michigan who took an independent survey to rate their company’s
performance on direction, execution, career, conditions, managers, and pay & benefits. High survey scores
and positive written comments from staff members helped Special Tree to rank #20 in the large-employer
category. Our staff’s survey comments praised Special Tree’s leadership, caring work environment, staff
training program, and strong teamwork.

“It’s truly an honor that our staff continues to recognize Special Tree as a Top Workplace year after year,”
said Kate McClain,Director of Workforce Engagement. “It reinforces our efforts to create an environment
where people give their very best and feel their work is important and valuable."
