The Hotline Named a 2012 Top Workplace
The Austin American Statesman named The Hotline a top workplace for 2012. This is the third consecutive year that The Hotline has been given this honor. The article cites employees’ sense of pride for helping others, the strong support system among advocates and caring leadership as reasons why The Hotline is a positive work environment.
One employee described their job satisfaction by saying, “I
talk to many strong survivors and have the chance to help them reach their goals of a safe, peaceful life. They have a difficult journey and I can encourage them and reinforce their strengths.”
The write-up also included a description of the unique service The Hotline provides for families facing crisis. To read the article, please click here.
