For the second consecutive year, Goodwin College was named one of the Hartford Courant/FOX CT 2015 Top Workplaces.
“We’re honored to be recognized for our great sense of community,” Goodwin president Mark Scheinberg said. “Top Workplaces is an award that reflects the feelings inside your own community, and I’m so pleased that this indicates how much our community members love working at Goodwin.”
The 2015 Top Workplaces awards surveyed over 44,000 employees in the Hartford area to assess multiple topics like company culture and leadership, day-to-day work, job satisfaction, and employer appreciation. Of the 60 organizations recognized by the award, Goodwin College was one of just two post-secondary educational institutions.
“It is a shared passion for what you do,” Hartford Courant columnist Dan Haar said of the award at an event honoring the organizations. “You share that not only within yourselves, but within the community.”
Goodwin received the award in 2014, as well.
“It’s obvious from the awards you’re winning tonight that you folks get it,” Courant publisher and CEO Rick Daniels said. “You are absolutely the exemplars that we want to continue to point out.”
