Palm Springs, CA – March 15, 2007 – Yesterday, at the Christian Management Association Conference in Palm Springs, California, Best Christian Workplaces Institute announced the finalists for the 2007 Best Christian Places to Work in the United States survey. For the fifth consecutive year, the CCO won top honors.

The survey, administered by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute (BCWI), involved more than 11,000 employees in 93 organizations across the United States to identify great workplaces with a Christian mission and/or values. In addition to the 5th annual awards ceremony held at the CMA Conference in Palm Springs, CA, the top 40 survey finalists will be listed on ChristianityToday.com.

Based on the survey, the Best Christian Places to Work in the United States are characterized by leadership teams that demonstrate integrity and compassion for their employees. In the spirit of Hebrews 10:24-25, these organizations are spurring on workplaces across the US to greater love and good deeds.

The Best Christian Workplaces Institute has surveyed more than 50,000 employees across North America in five years. BCWI is a research based organizational and human resources consulting firm based on Mercer Island, Washington.

Based on survey results, Best Christian Workplaces in the US demonstrate high levels of employee engagement,” says Al Lopus, President of BCWI. “This engagement translates into growing performance outcomes positively benefiting the quality of our global society. Further research indicates five unique drivers of employee engagement: 1) commitment for learning, 2) culture of character, 3) competence of management, 4) climate for action, and 5) fair total compensation. Leaders in these workplaces are engaging their people by enabling personal growth and building responsive and adaptable organizations while meeting their employees’ expectations for character, competence and transparency.”
