76 Organizations Honored as Certified Best Christian Workplaces

MERCER ISLAND, WA – Today, Best Christian Workplaces Institute (BCWI) honored 76 faith-based organizations as Certified Best Christian Workplaces for 2020.

These organizations met the certification standard determined by exemplary ratings from their employees who completed BCWI’s groundbreaking Employee Engagement Survey between January and July 2020. All organizations evaluated their workplaces based on BCWI’s proprietary “FLOURISH Model”: Fantastic Teams, Life-giving Work, Outstanding Talent, Uplifting Growth, Rewarding Compensation, Inspirational Leadership, Sustainable Strategy, and Healthy Communication.

Certification is based on actual anonymous employee opinions of a flourishing workplace culture, versus a subjective honor randomly bestowed upon an organization.

  • Eighty-two percent of all new Certified honorees surveyed over multiple years. “This is one confirmation that organizations which welcome and act upon employee feedback increase the likelihood of building a better, stronger workplace culture,” says BCWI CEO and Co-founder Al Lopus. After surveying annually for three consecutive years, C12--the largest network of Christian CEOs and executives working together to increase company performance and integrate faith and business—saw its level of employee engagement soar from 36% in 2016 to 78% in 2019.
  • "Workplace culture is more important now than ever,” says Craig Springer, Executive Director at ALPHA USA. "I'm so thankful we have focused on building our workplace culture leading into the Coronavirus crisis because now we have a bonded resilience as a team."

Since 2002, BCWI’s Employee Engagement Survey has been completed by more than 1,100 churches, faith-based non-profits, and Christian-owned businesses in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central America.
