First, there's flexibility. Employees manage their schedules for a healthy work/life balance. There is no time clock to be punched. Supervisors support employees in an individual- ized manner. A compre- hensive benefits package includes excellent cover- age at minimal cost to the employee. When pos- sible, Community Care refunds the employee portion of health care premiums. "Word Got Back" is a way for supervisors to acknowledge employees who go above and beyond with a gift basket and through social media. "High Fives" allow coworkers to recognize each other. The annual All Staff Gathering recognizes staff through gifts. And every other month, supervisors select an individual to feature in an Employee Spotlight! www.comcareme.org Coretelligent At Coretelligent, employees at all lev- els have access to executive management to voice concerns, questions, or sugges- tions. The size of the company allows employees to work with managers and colleagues on different teams and easily transfer departments or receive cross training. Upper manage- ment continues to find new ways to receive feedback such as monthly meetings, anonymous surveys, and Q&As. Professional development is key. A Tech Incentive program compensates employees for going above and beyond their day-to-day goals. The benefits that the company provides to employees and their families are top of the line. Fully or partially paid parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child is available, as are flexible hours to ac- commodate family needs. www.coretelligent.com # 34 # 35 MEDIUM EMPLOYER (50 - 249 U.S. EMPLOYEES) ank you to our employees!
