SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the ninth consecutive year, the Great Place to Work® Institute has named California Water Service Group (Group) (NYSE: CWT) a Great Place to Work.

The Great Place to Work award is based wholly on current, full-time employees’ feedback about their experience working at the company. The certification includes two parts: a Culture Audit© and a Trust Index©. Results were then compared to other top U.S. workplaces to determine the company’s placement.

Beyond its existing benefits package and employee programs, over the past year, the company worked to enhance engagement with team members through increased communications, in-person events, and a newly implemented at-risk pay program that allows participating team members to share financially in the success of the company when certain performance metrics—including areas such as safety, water quality, and customer service—are achieved.

“We are honored to earn the Great Place to Work certification for the ninth year in a row, particularly because it affirms that our employees appreciate our efforts to support them,” said Martin A. Kropelnicki, Group Chairman and CEO. “At California Water Service Group, we believe that when we take care of our employees, they can focus on taking care of our customers and communities, and we will continue working hard to be a great place for our employees to work.”
