Strategies That Make a Difference

One of the most compelling topics of the webinar was the set of strategies CCD has implemented to increase employee retention and satisfaction. From structured onboarding programs and continuous learning opportunities to transparent communication and career development paths, CCD’s approach is both comprehensive and personalized.

Kalil explained how CCD regularly gathers feedback from employees through surveys and one-on-one sessions to ensure the company remains responsive to their evolving needs. “We believe listening is a key leadership skill,” he noted. “Every piece of feedback we receive is a chance to grow and improve—not just as a company, but as a community.”

CCD has also invested heavily in building a culture of recognition, where hard work is celebrated and milestones are shared. Monthly “Employee Spotlights,” peer-nominated awards, and wellness check-ins are just a few of the initiatives that have significantly contributed to a high level of employee engagement and retention.

Supporting Work-Life Balance and Wellbeing

A central theme of the webinar was the critical role of work-life balance and employee wellbeing in creating a top-tier workplace. At CCD, this is not an afterthought—it’s a cornerstone of our employee experience.

Kalil spoke about our flexible working arrangements, mental health resources, and holistic wellness programs. From hybrid work options and generous PTO policies to in-office wellness activities and access to professional counselors, CCD ensures that employees have the tools and support they need to maintain a healthy equilibrium between work and life.

“We understand that success isn’t just about meeting targets,” Kalil emphasized. “It’s also about making sure our people feel good—physically, mentally, and emotionally—every step of the way.”

The Impact of the BPTW Certification

One of the proudest milestones in our company’s recent history was achieving the Best Places to Work certification. This recognition not only validates the efforts we’ve made to foster a positive workplace culture, but also motivates us to keep raising the bar.

During the webinar, Kalil shared how the BPTW certification has impacted CCD’s culture internally. It has reinforced our shared values, encouraged even greater collaboration, and given employees a renewed sense of pride and belonging. Externally, it has strengthened our brand as an employer of choice in the Dominican Republic, attracting top talent and reinforcing our commitment to excellence.

“The certification wasn’t the destination,” Kalil explained. “It was a reflection of the journey we’re on—and a catalyst for continued improvement.”

What Sets CCD Apart

So, what truly sets CCD apart as an employer in the Dominican Republic?

According to Kalil, it’s the blend of authentic leadership, employee empowerment, and a relentless focus on wellbeing. Our company doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we tailor our programs and policies to meet people where they are—understanding that a thriving workforce is built on respect, trust, and opportunity.

CCD’s diverse, inclusive, and dynamic work environment fosters a sense of purpose among employees. We invest in their future, celebrate their uniqueness, and ensure that every individual has the chance to make a meaningful impact.
