Welcome to the 9th annual Best Places to Work in the Coastal Bend

The Corpus Christi Human Resource Management Association (CCHRMA) encourages all companies in the Coastal Bend to nominate their company as a 9th annual Best Place to Work in the Coastal Bend.

"As to retention, earning this title provides us belief that our HR philosophies are solid and will help with retaining staff. As to recruitment, having this title is a clear indicator to prospective employees that we are staff centric."

"The best effect is validation: We believe we're a great place to work, but it makes all the difference in the world when an authoritative voice like SHRM, using an objective, quantitative analysis, says we're a great place to work. We'll add the award logo to our proposals, outreach materials, website, career fair booth and presentations wherever applicable."
