The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) has been recognized with the prestigious Top Workplaces 2024 honor by The Inland Empire Top Workplaces. This esteemed award is a testament to WRCOG’s commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture. The recognition is based entirely on employee feedback collected through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, LLC, a trusted employee engagement technology partner. The survey measures critical aspects of workplace culture, including feeling Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow and Empowered to Execute.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for organizations, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
WRCOG’s dedication to a trusted and collaborative work environment has been instrumental in driving the organization’s success. The leadership and staff work together enhancing regional partnerships and improving the quality of life for Riverside County residents. Through initiatives such as the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program, Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (CPACE) Program and the Inland Regional Energy Network (IREN), WRCOG continues to deliver impactful solutions that benefit the region.
“The recognition as a Top Workplace reflects WRCOG’s efforts to create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and inspired to contribute to the region’s success,” said Brenda Dennstedt, Chair of WRCOG. “Our staff’s dedication and professionalism are the driving force behind our achievements and their commitment to excellence ensures that WRCOG remains a leader in regional collaboration and innovation.”
