MINNEAPOLIS, June 18, 2013 — Starkey Hearing Technologies, one of the world’s leading hearing technology companies, is proud to announce it has been named one of the Top 100 Workplaces in Minnesota as a result of an employee-based survey project from the Star Tribune. The Star Tribune Top Workplaces special section was published in the Star Tribune on Sunday, June 16. The report can be found at https://www.StarTribune.com/topworkplaces.

The analysis included responses from more 64,342 employees at nearly 300 Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations.
