Shiel Sexton Company was recently named as one of the 2010 Best Places to Work in Indiana. The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, BizVoice, Inside INdiana Business, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Best Companies Group.

This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Indiana, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2010 Best Places to Work in Indiana list is made up of 28 companies in the small/medium-sized list (25-249 employees in the United States) and 42 companies in the large-sized list (250+ employees in the United States). Shiel Sexton has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana.

To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least 25 employees working in Indiana;
- Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity;
- Be a publicly or privately held business;
- Have a facility in the state of Indiana; and
- Must be in business a minimum of 1 year.

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Indiana. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Indiana and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

Shiel Sexton will be recognized and honored at the 2010 Best Places to Work in Indiana Awards Dinner coordinated by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, May 6th. The final rankings will be announced at the event. In addition, all ranked companies will be featured in the May-June issue of the award-winning BizVoice magazine.

Shiel Sexton was recently honored by the construction trade magazine "Midwest Construction" in its "Best of 2009 Awards" issue for December. The magazine competition drew 128 entries to the contest this year. A team of judges, who are experts in the fields of engineering and construction, chose 44 winners across 20 categories.

Shiel Sexton received a "Best of 2009 Award of Merit", in the category of Worship, for the construction on the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Carmel Indiana. The church is loosely modeled after the Hagia Sophia and is unique to the midwest. In fact, this is the first Triad Byzantine-design church constructed since the Hagia Sophia in over 1,400 years.
