CK Commercial Makes Fourth Consecutive Appearance, Ranking Among Highest-Scoring Businesses on Inc. Magazine’s Annual List of Best Workplaces for 2022.
May 10,2022

CK Commercial has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual Best Workplaces list. Featured in the May/June 2022 issue, hitting newsstands on May 17, 2022, and prominently featured on Inc.com, the list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or virtual facility. In addition to making the list, CK Commercial has also been named a winner in the Prosperous and Thriving: $5MM – $50MM in gross revenue category.

After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 475 honorees this year for their Best Workplaces list. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.

CK Commercial has realized that to be successful in the long term, it must build, cultivate and maintain strong organizational health. This also includes the realization that although multiple awards and honors for workplace culture have been received year after year, the team must continue to push the envelope and find ways to continually improve our culture.

CK Commercial’s founding focus as a company beyond redefining the construction experience for its clients and project partners has always been to put Team Members first above everything else. The ultimate goal was to create and maintain a workplace culture that attracts and retains Team Members who share in CK’s passion. This Team Member-first philosophy was put to the test the past two years, with it being unusual and challenging for workplace cultures across the country. CK Commercial found innovative ways to maintain this philosophy during the pandemic by providing the team with unlimited paid time off for COVID-19 related absences, increasing vacation time by an additional week, and giving bonuses to alleviate any financial stress that may impact the team and their families. Additionally, CK Commercial provided the team with paid meal delivery services such as Hello Fresh, so there was less worry after work.

CK Commercial Founder and Lead Strategist Michael Crim emphasizes the importance of putting the CK Commercial team first.

“We are humbled to make the Inc. Best Workplaces list for the fourth consecutive year! To be able to prioritize our people while getting to do what we love every day has been an amazing accomplishment for our team. Our journey began with the desire to change the construction industry. Seven years including a pandemic later, we continue our commitment to that desire.”

“Not long ago, the term ‘best workplace’ would have conjured up images of open-office designs with stocked snack fridges,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Yet given the widespread adoption of remote work, the concept of the workplace has shifted. This year, Inc. has recognized the organizations dedicated to redefining and enriching the workplace in the face of the pandemic.”
