Continental Realty Corporation, a Baltimore-based real estate investment and management company which owns and manages a 12-state portfolio valued at more than $4 billion, has been named a “Top Workplace” by The Baltimore Sun Media Group for the twelfth consecutive year. CRC was recognized in the mid-size employers category, which includes companies with 150 to 399 team members.
Each year The Baltimore Sun partners with Energage, a Philadelphia-based employee research and consulting firm, to determine the winning companies. The process starts in the summer, when the two organizations begin to solicit company nominations, followed by administering a 24-question employee survey to companies’ employees. The questionnaire measures and rates workplace issues such as alignment, coaching, connection, engagement, leadership, performance, benefits and training. Energage analyzed the data to identify 155 winners across the small, mid-size, and large company categories from the nearly 3,000 organizations invited to participate.
“CRC considers original input and feedback generated by our team members to be highly genuine, authentic and productive in our efforts to continually offer a motivating and empowering workplace,” stated Crystal Frey, CRC’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Shared Services. “Being recognized for this prestigious award for the twelfth consecutive year is humbling, especially considering that companies are chosen based solely on the honest and unfiltered responses provided by their team members.
“We take pride in our ability to attract, retain and reward the best and brightest talent in the real estate sector, a process that enables CRC to provide unparalleled and best-in-class products and services to our internal and external stakeholders. We are thankful to our team and have seen that an inclusive and respectful workplace translates to loyal and hardworking team members who do their best to benefit our tenants and residents,” she added.
