Civic Financial Services, premier private money lender for real estate investment financing, is proud to announce that Merced Cohen, its EVP, Operations, was recognized with Fortune and Great Place to Work’s “For All Leadership Award.” The award was presented earlier this week at the 3rd annual Leadership Awards Gala Dinner at the Four Seasons San Francisco, and is defined by leaders who connect diverse people to a common purpose, drive business growth and foster trusting relationships within and outside departments.
“When you bring empathy, honesty and genuine connections into the workplace, you get a byproduct of confidence and trust that allows more head space for everyone to focus on getting things done,” said Cohen. “At CIVIC we elevate our team members by helping them develop, learn, and go further in a safe and collaborative environment – and this creates a ripple effect of happiness we could not be more proud of.”
In recognizing the honorees, Great Place to Work CEO Michael C. Bush said, "The financial performance of these organizations and the industry-leading commitment to corporate responsibility provide strong evidence that when you create a great place to work for all, it is better for business, better for people and better for the world."
The recipients were selected from companies that appear on Fortune's annual lists of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, the 100 Best Workplaces for Women, the 100 Best Workplaces for Diversity, and the 150 Best Small and Medium Companies to Work For. Selected executives have demonstrated outstanding leadership in consistently creating a Great Place to Work For All over time. These leaders were noted for having built workplaces that are good for people by instilling an inclusive sense of belonging, and by providing a feeling of emotional and psychological safety.
CIVIC has been recognized for two years in a row as one of Fortune's Great Places to Work in the US, in addition to being named as one of the Best Medium Workplaces and #9 on the list of Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance in 2019 – with Cohen at the forefront of creating the environment that has earned such recognition.
