Elizabethtown Community and Technical College has been recognized as one of the best places to work in Kentucky.
ECTC says the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management selects the Best Places to Work in Kentucky based on an assessment of employee policies and procedures along with the results of an employee survey. ECTC has received the biennial honor three times in a row beginning in 2020.
“I think it’s just a testament to our employees’ commitment and engagement in the culture at ECTC, and our passion for our students,” said ECTC Chief Human Resources Officer Whitney Taylor.
She said taking care of employees means taking care of the campus community.
“When your employees are engaged, then you are able to accomplish your goals, and at the end of the day, we’re here to help students and add value to their lives and return that to our community, and you can’t do that if your employees aren’t engaged,” Taylor said.
ECTC President and CEO Dr. Juston Pate said he is proud of Taylor and the college’s faculty and staff for the positive environment they have helped create.
“I think we’ve created a culture that embraces the challenges that are before us and enjoys overcoming them, because for us the great thing is every time we overcome challenges, we take people with us, we take our students with us to a better place,” Pate said. “So being a Best Place to Work means that we’ve got a great environment to do the things we do to add value to the lives of our students.”
