Live + Work Where You Play: Outside in Wisconsin is a FREE resource to assist businesses and organizations with recruitment and talent attraction by positioning Wisconsin as an outdoor recreation destination and a great place to work. The sixteen-page publication leverages the state’s outdoor recreation culture, industry and abundant offerings that give Wisconsin employers an edge over the competition in the job market.
Wisconsin's remarkable outdoors is highly desirable, and our outdoor industry is robust. Combined with the state’s affordable cost of living, great schools and vibrant arts and culinary scenes, Wisconsin rises to the top.
Moreover, studies have shown that areas with outdoor recreation amenities attract new residents at higher rates than areas without these offerings. This is especially true in rural communities. During the pandemic, when virtual work meant employees were mobile, the “Zoom town” phenomena struck predominantly in areas known for their wealth of outdoor recreation offerings – meaning, outdoor recreation is a highly valued quality-of-life factor in relocation decisions for new talent, residents and businesses.
Equipped with Live + Work Where You Play: Outside in Wisconsin in your attraction and recruitment toolbox, you can help prospective employees understand the compelling nature of outdoor recreation in Wisconsin.
