241 Organizations Honored as 'Certified Best
Christian Workplaces' in 2022
NEWS PROVIDED BY
Best Christian Workplaces
Feb. 1, 2023
MERCER ISLAND, Feb. 1, 2023 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Today, Best Christian Workplaces (BCW) honors 241 faith-based
organizations and Christian-owned businesses as Certified Best Christian
Workplaces in 2022.
As many organizations continue to face challenges related to the ongoing shift
from virtual and hybrid work environments, these workplaces demonstrate
upstanding dedication to building and protecting a strong workplace and
prioritizing healthy working relationships amongst teammates and managers.
Says Jay Bransford, CEO, "Although many people report increased productivity
when they have more flexibility with their work location, it can also bring with
it some unique challenges. Thus, when Best Christian Workplaces provides
actionable data and feedback from our employee engagement survey, leaders of
organizations feel well-equipped to understand which aspects of their culture
are being negatively affected and in what ways staff would like more support
from their supervisors/managers."
Faced with high inflation and low unemployment, this year's survey results also
highlight the squeeze many employers have also felt in the area of rising labor
costs. The factors highlighted in the survey, specifically concerning
compensation, have helped organizations determine how pay impacts their
employee's levels of engagement and motivation, and their likelihood to look for
higher-paid work elsewhere.
"Approaches to compensation strategy can vary, but the most successful
organizations are proactive and intentional," explains Bransford. "In some
cases, leaders simply identify a need to better communicate their pay philosophy
and benefits programs. And in other cases, leaders have identified a need to
re-assess the pay, benefits and/or career path opportunities offered."
Now more than ever, employees have the ability to choose where they want to work
and what they want their workplace to be like. As a result, employers who take
the health of their workplaces seriously are at a significant strategic
advantage. The 241 organizations honored today set the gold standard for
excellence in employee engagement, and BCW is hopeful and expectant for the year
to come.
"Imagine what would happen in our societies if Christian-led organizations
decided to rise up and set the standard as the best, most effective places to
work in the world," says Bransford. "Not only would it mean that Christian-led
workplaces would successfully attract and retain the best talent, but they would
also be positively representing the nature and character of God in and through
their workplace cultures. In doing so, they would bring more people to Christ.
Now that's something to be hopeful and expectant about in the year ahead!"
This year's Certified Best Christian Workplaces list features organizations in
the United States, Canada, Australia, Thailand, and Zambia, and includes a
variety of faith-based nonprofits, churches, Christian schools, camps and
conferences, and Christian-owned businesses. Validated by their own employees,
certified organizations must meet the required scoring standard through BCW's
robust employee engagement survey.
