Good morning, Chattanooga!
This month our Edge Magazine released its annual “Best Places to Work in Chattanooga” edition, featuring 14 local businesses whose employees enjoy what they do and who they do it with.
From Big Brother Big Sisters to Cempa Community Care, surveyed workers across the region chimed in to help decide what are some of the best places to work.
“[This award] speaks volumes for our culture,” said Cempa Community Care CEO Shannon Stephenson. “We have five core values – compassion, empowerment, excellence, integrity and unity.”
The surveys gave a look into each company’s unique culture and employee satisfaction.
“Text Request is a great place to work because every employee puts real value in protecting our work environment,” said Brian Elrod, Text Request president. “Great work environments are led by employees, not by bosses.”
Here’s who made the cut and how they made the cut to become a 2022 “Best Places to Work” winner.
Now for some recent stories:
