For the third consecutive year, the CPI team was proud to receive an award recognizing CPI as one of Metropolitan Detroits Best and Brightest Companies to Work For 2017. In addition, CPI went on to receive an elite award from the Best and Brightest Committee, recognizing CPIs commitment to recruitment, selection and orientation.
The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For awards competition provides the business community with the opportunity to gain recognition, showcase their best practices and demonstrate why each of them would be an ideal place for employees to work.
“It was my privilege to accept both awards on behalf of CPI. The true recipients of these awards are our employees. Its the people at CPI who truly make it one of the best and brightest places to work. We are also very proud of our dedicated veteran recruiting and hiring initiative. Everyone in our organization is committed to this effort because the military is the stalwart of our nation and they make exceptional employees,” said Jay Vorobel, Vice President, Eastern Region, CPI.
As military personnel transition out of the United States Armed Forces into the civilian workforce, CPIs goal is to ensure that they are given the opportunity to use their unique skill sets and strong work ethic, in service of their new employers.
