The Hermiston School District was named a 2015 Top Workplace by The Oregonian Media Group, one of just 100 companies and organizations in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
The designation is based solely on surveys about the district as completed by HSD employees.
In the spring of 2015, district staff members completed a brief survey about the district and school in which they work, with questions focused on organizational health. Results show that district employees believe in the direction the district is going and that the district operates by strong values and ethics. Employees feel connected, stating that they are part of something meaningful and feel genuinely appreciated and well-informed of decisions.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our employees,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Fred Maiocco. “The greatest strength of our organization is its people.”
Workplace Dynamics originated the Top Workplaces identification in 2006, based on the simple belief that “The most successful companies are the ones that employees believe in.”
According to its website, Workplace Dynamics states, “The response has been overwhelming, 5 years on, over 4,000 organizations now participate in the program each year. We partner with 30 of the most prestigious publications in the country. And over a million people complete our employee survey each year to tell us about their company.”
