Press-Enterprise Names the City of Murrieta A Winner of the Inland Empire Top Workplaces 2023 Award
The City of Murrieta has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2023 honor by Inland Empire Top Workplaces. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization including: alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
More than 230 Murrieta employees participated in the survey. The City saw top scores in:
• Meaningfulness: My job makes me feel like I am part of something meaningful.
• Direction: I believe the City of Murrieta is going in the right direction.
• Inclusion: I feel included at the City of Murrieta.
Other words that scored high included: professional, positive, team-oriented, fulfilling, proactive, honest, driven, culture, empathetic, rewarding, and happy. “We work hard to put our employees first and listen to their needs” said City of Murrieta Manager, Kim Summers. “Only 33 companies made the list and I’m proud to see Murrieta named a top workplace”.
This survey also gave the City a snapshot of where improvements can be made with employees noting there is room for improvement with: interdepartmental cooperation, clued-in leaders, and open-mindedness.
In addition, employees provided feedback such as, overworked, disconnected, underpaid, clique, poor-leadership, consistent, inconsistent, micromanaged, and exclusive.
“There is no perfect organization, and we are always striving to move in a forward direction,” Summers noted. “We are working to understand these concerns and the actions we need to take at the leadership level and as individual employees. Overall, I am very pleased with the results and that many of the areas we have focused on are successful”.
