McCarthy wins #3 spot on Dallas Morning News Best in DFW: Top Workplaces list

Congratulations to McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.'s Texas Division for being honored as the number three best workplace in DFW by the Dallas Morning News.  The top two spots went to the Richards Group and Southwest Airlines.

McCarthy was recognized this afternoon at a luncheon hosted by the Dallas Morning News recognizing all of the companies selected for a Best in DFW: Top Workplaces award.

Created by The Dallas Morning News and its partner, Workplace Dynamics LLC, this is the inaugural  award. Companies eligible for participation included public or private companies, as well as for-profit and non-profit organizations with more than 50 employees in the DFW metroplex. The award seeks to recognize big and small companies and organizations that excel at creating a dynamic, supportive and inclusive workplace.  Each entry is judged based on an employee opinion survey.  All employees rate their employer in different categories such as business operations, values, policies and facilities.  

McCarthy adds this award to a growing list of other business and industry-based awards the firm has received, including most recently being named the 2009 Contractor of the Year by the Dallas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

Check out the Nov. 1 issue of The Dallas Morning News to see other award winners.
