CRC was highest-ranking property management company and placed at number15 position among all mid-size employers
Continental Realty Corporation (CRC), a Baltimore-based real estate investment and management company, has been named a “Top Workplace” by The Baltimore Sun Media Group for the tenth consecutive year, and was the highest-ranking property management company among mid-size employers who made the list. CRC placed 15th overall in the mid-size employers category, which lists companies with 150 to 399 team members.
The Baltimore Sun collaborated with Energage, a Philadelphia-based employee research and consulting firm, to determine the winning companies. Starting this summer, the two groups solicited company nominations and then administered a 24-question employee survey that measured workplace issues such as alignment, coaching, connection, engagement, leadership, performance, benefits and training. Energage analyzed the data to identify approximately 150 winners across the small, midsize and large categories.
Nearly 3,000 organizations were invited to participate in this program and approximately 19,000 employees completed surveys, including 170 CRC team members.
“CRC operates in a people-centric industry, where customer service, product knowledge and attention to detail create separation among companies, so we invest considerable resources to attract and retain the best and brightest,” stated Crystal Frey, CRC’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Shared Services. “Creating and maintaining an authentic workplace culture means providing team members with a voice, responding to their ideas and cultivating an empowering and stimulating workplace that rewards extra effort. We are particularly humbled by earning this award for the tenth straight year because of the unfiltered responses of our team members, and this provides us additional motivation to continue with our mission.”
Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland and founded in 1960, CRC is a full-service commercial real estate and investment company focused on acquiring and operating retail and multifamily properties. The privately held firm owns and manages a diversified portfolio of retail centers consisting of more than seven million square feet of commercial space and approximately 9,000 apartment homes across 11 states, with a portfolio value exceeding $3.3 billion.
