McKinney City Government Ranks No. 72 on Top Workplaces USA List

The City of McKinney has been recognized as a top employer in the United States. The city was named to the Top Workplaces USA list by USA TODAY, securing the No. 72 position among organizations with between 1,000 and 2,499 employees. According to the announcement, only two other government agencies were recognized in this specific category.

The national recognition followed a regional award. In November of last year, The Dallas Morning News named the City of McKinney a Top Workplace in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The city was the only municipality to earn that distinction. This regional honor automatically qualified the organization for consideration for the national list.

City Manager Paul Grimes commented on the achievement, stating that being named one of the best places to work in the nation is a great honor. He noted that the ranking reflects the city's commitment to creating a healthy, winning culture where everyone is respected, trusted, and empowered to make decisions.

Grimes attributed the success to the city's internal leadership. He stated that receiving national-level recognition would not have happened without the dedicated department heads and supervisors and managers. He described these leaders as providing a caring work environment that fosters professional growth, personal development, and a genuine sense of belonging.

The city manager expressed pride in the entire team, noting that they will continue doing their very best to support everyone in the community. The announcement was issued on March 21, 2024. The city highlighted the importance of its staff in maintaining the services provided to residents while acknowledging the competitive nature of the national ranking.
