Once again CRC is proud to announce it has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Southeast Minnesota by Workforce Development, Inc. This is the eighth year CRC has received this honor.

Recently Workforce Development identified and announced 12 companies in the southeast Minnesota area as the best businesses to work at for 2020. Companies were divided into either small- (under 75 employees), medium- (75-200 employees), or large- (over 200 employees) sized categories. CRC’s Austin Center fell into the medium-sized category.

“Consistently qualifying for the best workplace designation is an honor, one which we take very seriously and try to maintain,” said Nancy Morrison, CRC’s vice president, human resource development. “As a company we strive to be a preferred employer in the community and being recognized with other top employers in the area for the eighth consecutive year confirms we are achieving that distinction. Ensuring we offer competitive pay and benefit packages helps us attract and retain qualified employees whose contributions make our business a success.”

Each company that participated in the program was required to complete a 40-question survey that allowed their employment practices to be analyzed by Personnel Dynamics Consulting, a Florida-based consulting firm. Some of the attributes that have made CRC a stand out for this honor are its employee benefit program, employee growth, percentage of employees promoted, bonus program, annual increases in pay, and its focus on training and wellness.
