A huge congratulations to Ecumen’s team members, Ecumen has been named for the third straight year as one of Minnesota’s Best Places to Work. 

The award is bestowed by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.  More than 200 companies vied for the “Best Places to Work” designation.  Ecumen was one of Minnesota’s top 10 large companies.  Winners were selected based on anonymous surveys conducted by employees.  The survey sought ratings on several topics:  work environment, embracing innovations/new ideas, people practices, personal growth and development, people in the organization and how things work day-to-day.

The Business Journal highlighted Ecumen’s dual commitment to delivering great customer experiences and innovating. 

Highlighted was the Ecumen Innovation Station, the growing Ecumen University learning program and Ecumen’s Family Helping Family initiative, which provides interest-free loans to employees facing household and family emergencies.   In 2006, more than $175,000 was granted for a number of events from house fires to paying for funerals.  Many employees donate to this fund through payroll deducation.
