McDonogh, Britton Earn Top Workplace Honors
Leadership and a family atmosphere are two of the many reasons The
Baltimore
Sun’s Top Workplaces survey ranked McDonogh as the #1 Top Workplace in
the
midsize category and Headmaster Charlie Britton as a Top Leader. The honors
were announced at an event on Thursday, November 30 at the Baltimore Museum
of Industry.
The distinctions were based on the results of a survey conducted by
Workplace
Dynamics, LLC in which McDonogh employees answered a series of questions
ranging from the basics (pay and benefits) to connection (feeling appreciated and
doing meaningful work) and alignment (company direction, values, and
cooperation.) The survey also assessed confidence in the leadership.
An
article, which will appear in the 2017 Top Workplaces supplement in the
Sunday, December 3 edition of The Baltimore Sun, states, “Faculty
members
quickly become part of what is often referred to as the ‘McDonogh Family’ — not
merely a nickname for the staff, but an apt description of the workplace culture.”
Bridget Collins ’90, Director of Character and Service, is quoted as saying,
“This
is a nurturing and loving environment, and we spread that to our students. We
support each other in work and play, in good times and bad. We push each other
to be better, to work harder, and to be the best teachers we can be.”
The survey results also revealed that McDonogh faculty appreciate autonomy
in the
classroom, support in pursuing advanced degrees, and professional development
opportunities.
Britton was recognized for “setting a tone of respect and empowerment
without
ignoring the fun.” One employee comment shared in the Top Workplaces
supplement says, “Charlie is authentic, child-focused, playful, receptive,
trustworthy, involved, and aware.”
Another employee applauded Britton’s “excellent vision for the future of
independent school education” and called him “a person of high integrity and
strong values.”
Meanwhile, Britton believes the key to being a successful leader is
authenticity.
He says, “I have found that employees will work harder to support your
leadership and the organization's mission when they witness your honesty and
humility.”
McDonogh has participated in the survey conducted by Workplace Dynamics
for
the past six years and each year the school has placed in the top two of the
midsize category.
