UMBC has been named one of The Baltimore Sun 100 Top Workplaces in the Baltimore region. UMBC ranked no. 11 among large employers in the Top Workplaces list, published on Dec. 8 in a special section in the Sunday Sun and online.

The Baltimore area winners included on the list were selected from employee surveys measuring qualities such as company leadership, career opportunities, workplace flexibility, compensation and benefits.

UMBC was recognized by its employees as an organization with strong leadership, vision and direction and one that operates by strong values and ethics. Some comments shared by faculty and staff include:

“I am provided a great deal of flexibility and respected for my efforts.”

“I get the opportunity to grow professionally and I work with great people. ”

“I use my experience and skills to the fullest and feel a sense of accomplishment in my work.”

“Strong sense of community; high motivation to help students/faculty succeed.”

“The people, the projects, and the possibilities.”

During the summer, UMBC was nominated to participate in The Baltimore Sun Top Workplaces program, which identifies and compares top places to work in the Baltimore Metropolitan area, based solely on the opinions of employees. In late August and early September, UMBC faculty and staff responded to a confidential independent survey conducted by research company WorkplaceDynamics, LLC.
