Hoffman Estates, IL – Clearwater Capital Partners (CCP) has once again been recognized among the Best Places to Work in Illinois, earning this distinction for the fourth consecutive year. The annual awards program, now in its 20th year and promoted by The Daily Herald Suburban Business, celebrates organizations that excel at creating outstanding workplace environments and making significant contributions to Illinois’ economy and business community.
This year, 38 companies across the state were honored in three categories: small employers (15-99 U.S. employees), medium employers (100-499 U.S. employees), and large employers (500+ U.S. employees). Clearwater Capital Partners is proud to be named a top workplace in the small employer category, reflecting its ongoing commitment to fostering a positive, collaborative, and engaging culture.
John Chapman, CEO of Clearwater, says, “From our earliest days, Clearwater Capital Partners has been defined not only by our commitment to clients but by our pursuit of a workplace where excellence is a shared tradition, and ambition is met with opportunity. Our recognition as one of Illinois’ Best Places to Work for the fourth consecutive year is both a reflection of our team’s dedication and an invitation to those who share our values. We are steadfast in our belief that the best ideas emerge when talented, like-minded individuals come together– driven by a spirit of collaboration, innovation, and ownership. As we look ahead, we remain committed to nurturing this culture and welcoming others who are passionate about shaping the future of our firm and the communities we serve.”
The Best Places to Work in Illinois program uses a comprehensive two-part evaluation process managed by Best Companies Group and the Workforce Research Group. The first phase reviews each company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, accounting for 20% of the total score. The second, more heavily weighted phase (80%), consists of an anonymous employee survey measuring satisfaction and workplace experience. This approach ensures that honorees are recognized not just for policies, but for the real experiences of their employees.
Clearwater Capital Partners’ recognition for four consecutive years underscores the firm’s dedication to building a workplace where employees feel valued, empowered, and motivated to excel. We take pride in being recognized as a company that emphasizes collaboration, professional growth, and an ownership mindset within the Wealth Management and Family Office sector, distinguishing us as one of the Top 10 Best Places to Work in Illinois 2025.
