“Lindner prides itself on our collaborative, problem-solving mindset, our dedication and unwavering Bearcat spirit. This award is a testament to that and to the exceptional talent across our ranks. Day-in and day-out, Lindner faculty and staff show up for our students, for the community and for each other,” said Lindner Dean Marianne Lewis, PhD, who accepted the award on the college’s behalf. “As such, we’re grateful for this recognition. Yet further, being named a ‘best place to work’ also sets a clear example for our students to seek out spaces where their exemplary talent will be valued and empowered.”
Employees review their companies via survey as part of the award process. Questions cover topics such as leadership, benefits and diversity. Their responses are then tabulated to determine the awards finalists and winners.
To be named a finalist, companies had to score in the top 80-90th percentile in a variety of categories that covered leadership, employee engagement and company culture.
