CCA Earns High Marks From National Publications
Posted 10:50 AM on Aug 13, 2008
For more than 25 years, CCA's commitment to safety and security, service-driven operations and cost effective solutions has earned our company a solid reputation with federal, state and local government customers. We now stand more than 65 facilities strong – and growing – in 19 states and the District of Columbia, with nearly 17,000 employees achieving satisfying careers and more than 75,000 inmates and detainees receiving performance-driven educational, vocational and rehabilitative programming.
As a corporate partner, CCA is guided by time-tested best business and industry practices with a forward-thinking philosophy that values innovation and improvement. And other respected decision-makers agree. CCA has garnered top rankings from Corporate Responsibility Officer, Forbes and G.I. Jobs magazines for our strong record of excellence with communities, partnering customers and employees.
Corporate Responsibility Officer magazine, an executive resource covering company ethics, communications, compliance and social responsibility, recently named CCA among the nation's "100 Best Corporate Citizens." This distinction "translates into recognition for some of [CCA's] policies and practices, a well- earned 'attaboy' from an unbiased arbiter," CRO writes. CCA's ranking was based on the company's efforts in employee relations, finance, governance, lobbying and philanthropy.
Forbes magazine, one of the nation's premier business and finance publications, counts CCA among "America's Best Big Companies" for our financial growth, corporate governance, accounting standards, background checks, management ability, innovation and leadership. Ranked "The Best of The Best" in the area of "Business Services and Supplies," CCA has received high marks for our business development and ability to preparedly meet the nation's growing demand for quality corrections management services.
G.I. Jobs magazine, a respected magazine for service persons transitioning into civilian employment, has named CCA as a "Top 50 Military-Friendly Employer" because of the company's efforts to recruit from the military, results in recruiting from the military and policies for Reserve and Guard members called to active duty, as well as veteran promotional programs and community involvement. With CCA's successful "From Camouflage to Corrections" military recruitment campaign and our continued presence at military career fairs, we are committed to our effort in hiring those who have committed their careers – and lives – to public service: America's servicemen and servicewomen.
