We believe in empowering the people that we serve and we believe in empowering our employees. Our employees are dedicated to building relationships and partnerships with our community. Working for CCBDD is rewarding in many ways. We focus on employees' growth and development and support employees' wellbeing.

Employees who take advantage of the insurance plans will have a health savings account setup and can contribute through payroll deductions. To ensure that employees can afford medical costs the Board contributes $2,000 for single or $4,000 for family to the employee's health savings account. Rest and time with friends and families is important. Each year employees have ten holidays, one personal day, board administration days (the days between Christmas and New Year's Day), and generous sick and vacation leaves.
