Reality check for young workers: You need to earn your on-the-job value - The San Diego Union-Tribune (sandiegouniontribune.com) The key line is: “And the Gallup organization has even identified 12 key elements of young employee engagement, which include 'feeling cared about by someone at work' Feeling cared for is fine. But a well cared for hired hand is still a hired hand. Companies like Costco and Nucor that partner with their employees to serve customers profitably find higher levels of engagement and profits.

My heart is full with pride and gratitude as I reflect on the incredible journey we've embarked on together at Cortex Innovation District. Being named one of the best places to work is not just a testament to our organization's success, but a celebration of our shared commitment to community, inclusive economic growth, and innovation. From the very beginning, Cortex has been more than just a workplace to me—it's been a second home, a sanctuary of creativity, and a hub of endless possibilities. I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the transformative power of entrepreneurship in our community and the impact of collaboration in empowering first-time entrepreneurs. Our small business owners, tenants, and community are the heartbeat of Cortex, and each day, they inspire me with their resilience, determination, and unwavering passion. Whether it's through district-wide programs, workshops, or networking events, we've built a supportive ecosystem where dreams are nurtured and aspirations take flight. For me, what truly sets our organization apart is our leadership's unwavering commitment to our core values. They understand that success is not just measured in profit margins, but in the lives we touch and the communities we uplift. And through it all, one thing remains abundantly clear: the heart and soul of Cortex lie in the collective efforts of every individual who walks through our doors. Thank you, Cortex family, for being the driving force behind our success. Here's to many more years of purposeful work, meaningful connections, and endless possibilities! 🎉🌟 Sam Fiorello Natalie Self, MSW, SHRM-CP Ben Molina Brian Russell Colleen Autry, LEED Green Associate Rachel Deffenbaugh, MSW Wendy McKethan Tameka Jones Mike Bozovich, CPA Joel VanHazinga Marlon D.

It's rare for people to look forward to coming into work every day, and building a company culture that makes it a top workplace in any metropolitan area requires significant effort. If you were to consult a typical HR manual or an MBA course on building a successful organization, you’d likely find that creating such a workplace involves a commitment to employee well-being, a supportive environment, open communication, strong leadership, etc, etc. While all of this is true and the path to achieving it isn't a mystery, not many companies truly reach that "promised land" where employees feel genuinely cared for. I’d be curious—what do you think makes the difference? In my relatively short time at MCR, my experience has been extraordinary. Any work by its nature induces stress on the employee to obtain certain results. These stresses are often amplified due to market conditions, competition, the global scope of operations, relationships with coworkers, leadership expectations, tight budgets, etc. However, at MCR, the majority of stress seems to come from external factors. Internally, the team is well-aligned and focused on addressing challenges together. This camaraderie allows us to channel our energy into improving the business and enhancing the value we provide to our customers. I believe much of this positive dynamic is a direct result of how Michael Robertson leads and supports the team. https://lnkd.in/daeYSxRQ #topworkplace, #technologyrocks
