NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center
(NOENMCC) has earned the highly coveted Regional Top Workplace 2023
Award by_ The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate_. This year
marks the eighth time the Convention Center has received this
distinction.
Recognizing Greater New Orleans businesses that demonstrate dedication
to a people-first culture, the Top Workplace Awards focus on the
employee experience. Winners are determined by feedback captured on an
employee engagement survey administered by third-party technology
partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey measures several culture
drivers that can be critical to an organization’s success, including
alignment, execution, and connection.
“At the Convention Center, we consider employees our internal
customers. We strive to cultivate an engaged internal community, teams
that serve our customers and partners with the kind of hospitality and
spirit you can only get in New Orleans,” said Michael J. Sawaya,
Convention Center President. “Our employees’ hard work enables us to
be a leading-edge organization in the conventions and events industry.
We appreciate our team members who consistently show up with a relentless
dedication to our customers, community, and purpose.”
NOENMCC is committed to creating a culture and workplace that is
fundamentally inclusive, an organization where everyone can find a sense
of belonging and thrive professionally. Equitable hiring has been a
longstanding priority at the NOENMCC, and its workforce mirrors the New
Orleans’ demographics. This mission directly led to the recent
creation of a Chief Diversity Officer position, the first convention
center in the nation to carve out this leadership role.
The longevity of the Convention Center staff attests to its “Top
Workplace” status: Convention Center staff boasts 405 employees with a
combined 3,550 combined years of experience – an average of 8.7 years
each.
Convention Center employees enjoy a competitive benefits package
including medical, dental, vision, short-term disability, critical
illness, whole life, term life, and a retirement plan as well as
