We’re happy to announce The Center has been awarded Crain’s 2022 Cool Places to Work* in Michigan for the sixth consecutive year! Crain’s Cool Places to Work was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best places of employment in Michigan. The 2022 Cool Places to Work in Michigan list is made up of 100 companies in three size categories: small (15-49 employees), medium (50-249) and large (250+). Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Cool Places to Work in Michigan. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, and the second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the final rankings.
THE CENTER WAY
The Center team has spoken, and it’s evident we’re all proud of benefits like professional development, education reimbursement, workplace committees, and social events. Our fun culture is developed over ping-pong tournaments, chili cook-offs, and volunteer work.
TEAMWORK DURING A PANDEMIC
“We are especially proud of how we’re managing the curveball 2020 threw us. When COVID-19 hit, we transitioned to working remotely and formed a response committee tasked with making the office a safe place to return to,” said Lauren Adams, CFA®, CFP®.
Managing office culture remotely comes with its difficulties, but none were significant enough to break the incredible community our office has developed. We’ve started a book club to keep engaged and even brought in a little competition with our stock education bracket-style game, Market Madness and health challenges throughout the pandemic. The health challenges helped keep the COVID 15lbs at bay.
Ultimately, The Center is a cool place to work because each team member contributes to a caring and positive workplace.
