Calvary Christian School in Bellefontaine has been named among 208 “Best Christian Workplaces” in America for 2021-22 by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute.
The results are based on exemplary ratings provided by employees who completed BCWI’s Employee Engagement Survey. Among the 208 organizations include the following categories: camps and conference centers, Christian schools, Christian-owned businesses, churches, family services, higher education, products and services, and parachurches and missions
“We celebrate this year’s certified workplaces. They are evidence a flourishing culture is an effective antidote to the Great Resignation,” said Al Lopus, BCWI CEO and co-founder.
Established in 1978, Calvary Christian School at 1140 Rush Ave. has an enrollment of 335 students and employs 36 faculty and staff members, according to its school profile on its website, www.ccsspartans.com. College Credit Plus programs are available, along with 10 student clubs and 23 athletic teams.
Lopus noted that throughout 2021, record numbers of Americans resigned from their jobs. These skyrocketing resignation rates — and the resulting hiring and retention crisis — show why workplace culture matters so much.
To hold on to great employees, organizations need to create an engaging environment that provide meaningful work, promote career growth, build trust-based relationships, and emphasize healthy work-life balance—all issues, which if ignored, lead workers to look elsewhere.
“Each ministry, church, and business that made the 2021 list of Certified Best Christian Workplaces has done just that. In spite of the Great Resignation, these organizations have engaged their employees, nurtured healthy teams, and inspired their staff to do great work,” BCWI representatives said.
