HCAD Recognized As Top Workplace 5 Years In A Row
The Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) has been selected as a Top Workplace in the Houston metropolitan area by the Houston Chronicle for the fifth consecutive year.
“Being named a Top Workplace in the Houston area for the fifth year in a row is an amazing honor that we were able to achieve because of our employees,” said Roland Altinger, chief appraiser. “There are not many organizations that can brag about a 5-year stretch of wins like this. The dedication of our employees and their focus on providing the best possible customer service are the ideals that got us on the list and have kept us on this list. I’m so proud of everyone in HCAD.”
Altinger explained that the district’s focus has always been on the taxing jurisdictions and the property owners and of being responsive to their needs.
“We have led the assessing industry in creating new technology that makes it easier to interact with us, yet our basic motivation has always been to improve our customer relationships,” he said.
The top workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Energage LLC, a Pennsylvania-based firm that provides technology-based employee engagement tools.
The anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including engagement, organizational health and employee satisfaction with the organization and their job.
“Creating an organization that displays strong values and ethics, as well as one that genuinely listens to employees and its customers, has helped us make the Top Workplaces list for the past five years,” Altinger said.
