Thresholds Named One of Chicago’s 2026 Best & Brightest Companies to Work For
Thresholds is proud to announce that we have once again been recognized as one of Chicago’s Best & Brightest Companies to Work For in 2026.
Presented annually by the National Association for Business Resources, the Best & Brightest program honors organizations that are committed to creating exceptional workplace cultures and supporting employees through innovative and thoughtful practices.
For Thresholds, this recognition reflects the people behind our mission. Every day, staff across the organization bring compassion, dedication, and expertise to their work — supporting individuals and families across Illinois through mental health care, substance use treatment, housing, crisis response, recovery services, and more.
Whether responding to someone in crisis, helping a person secure stable housing, supporting employment goals, or building meaningful community connections, Thresholds employees lead with empathy and purpose.
“At Thresholds, our people are the heart of everything we do,” said Mark Ishaug, President and CEO of Thresholds. “This recognition reflects the incredible commitment of our staff and the culture they help create every day — one rooted in support, collaboration, and care for one another and the communities we serve.”
Thresholds remains committed to fostering a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow. From professional development opportunities and wellness initiatives to a mission-driven culture centered on belonging and connection, we believe investing in employees strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality care across our communities.
As we celebrate this recognition, we are deeply grateful to the staff members who make Thresholds a place where people can thrive — both personally and professionally.
