Sourcewell recognized with nine national workplace awards
The central-Minnesota organization was named a USA TODAY Top Workplace for the third consecutive year, plus additional workplace culture recognition
Organizations that invest in their people deliver stronger results. That connection is reflected in Sourcewell’s recent national workplace recognition.
Sourcewell received nine awards across two national programs. The awards recognize a workplace culture that empowers employees to do their best work supporting public agencies and the communities they serve.
USA TODAY Top Workplaces and Energage Culture Excellence Awards recognized Sourcewell.
“When employees feel supported, connected, and engaged, they bring their best to the work,” said Dr. Chad Coauette, CEO of Sourcewell. “That strengthens how we partner with public agencies and helps expand what’s possible in communities within our five-county region and nationwide. We’re very fortunate to have a supportive board of directors and a team that’s invested in making a lasting impact.”
