Crossroads Treatment Centers Receives 2025 South Carolina Top Workplaces Award
GREENVILLE, S.C., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Treatment Centers (Crossroads), a national provider of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment with seven locations in South Carolina, announced today the esteemed recognition as a 2025 South Carolina Top Workplace. This annual award recognizes companies in the state for creating a positive and engaging work environment using employee feedback. Crossroads was among only a few workplaces to receive the honor, marking its second consecutive year of earning the award.
'We're extremely proud to have cultivated an environment where our teammates feel appreciated and fulfilled,' said Jonathan Foust, Chief People Officer at Crossroads. 'We wouldn't be able to provide the high caliber of care to our patients and communities if it weren't for every single one of our dedicated teammates, and it's important that they know how deeply we value their work.'
Earlier this month, Crossroads celebrated its 20th anniversary, highlighting its growth over the last two decades, with more than 100 treatment centers across nine states. The organization provides personalized treatment plans for individuals with SUD using a combination of medication and behavioral health therapies.
'Creating a workplace where teammates are passionate about their job and empowered to make a difference has allowed us to grow and expand access to even more patients who need our care,' said Rupert McCormac IV, MD, Founder and CEO of Crossroads. 'Evidence to the strength of our culture and caring for each other, the Crossroads team was also recently recognized by USA Today as a 2025 Top Workplace.'
The South Carolina Top Workplace list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling respected, supported and enabled to grow.
'Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,' said Eric Rubino, CEO at Energage. 'That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they're allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces does this, and it pays dividends.'
The Top Workplace accolades are testaments to the hard work of leaders and team members and their collective dedication to cultivating and maintaining a great work environment for the past 20 years.

Are you a boss who misses being part of the team? Here's how to handle it
Business is a team sport, and it's nice to have the camaraderie of laughing, grinding toward deadlines, and even gossiping with your teammates. But when you're the boss, you're not just one of the crew—even if you'd like the easy camaraderie shared among people who aren't calling the shots. What happens when layoffs are approaching, or the company is facing budget cuts? You may feel lonely—you know what's coming but lack peers to confide in or commiserate with. Then there are the everyday stressors that come with leadership, like giving feedback or telling someone they won't be getting the promotion. It can be lonely at the top. If you miss being part of the team, here are some actions you can take. Accept your position and the restrictions that come with it As a leader, there are many things you won't be able to share with the folks on your team—and that's just the way it is. For example, you may feel jealousy when you see them laughing and having a good time while you're stuck doing the budgeting. Don't fight these feelings; acknowledge them. Accept the reality that you're the leader, and that many times you'll have to stand alone. Find a trusted adviser Even though you're the boss, you still need someone to bounce ideas off of: you can't live in a silo. Find a person who shares your philosophies regarding business, leadership, and people. Establish a consistent cadence and routine for working with your adviser outside of your company. Note that this should be a reciprocal relationship; offer your ideas and opinions to your adviser when asked. Be someone in whom they can confide. Find appropriate times to pop in Just because you're the boss doesn't mean you can't have any part of the day-to-day team operations. Find instances where you can pop in and be part of the team. Be judicious about this—for example, you probably don't want to hop in on a meeting the team can handle on their own. An appropriate time to join the team may be when everyone is working toward a deadline and the load is intense. Otherwise, be present, but not overbearing. You have a new team group Even though you're the boss, you're not completely alone. You have new peers—other managers, or the executive leadership team. Everything evolves and changes; you can have fun with this new group, too. Look for opportunities to connect, even if you miss your old team. You will evolve as a leader. Being the boss can be a great new opportunity, even if you miss the camaraderie that came without that title. Instead of longing for what was, make the most of your position and forge new relationships among your peers in leadership.

How To Thrive Through The Workplace's Massive Generational Shift
Ready or not, here they come. There are now more Gen Zers in the workplace than Boomers—sparking a major generational handoff. It's official: Generation Z now outnumbers the Baby Boomer generation at work. By 2030, Gen Z is estimated to become 30% of the workforce. This changes everything—or does it? 'Gen Z are not only a different age and generation, but they've lived through different experiences,' says Jennifer Dulski, Founder and CEO of Rising Team. 'Every generation that comes into the workplace anew changes it, and I don't believe we should be afraid of that. We should be welcoming what they bring.' The generational handoff taking place in many organizations worldwide will only intensify as more Boomers exit the workforce. 'It's a shift that is happening in corporate offices, hybrid work systems, and deskless workplaces with frontline workers,' says Jeff Moses, CEO of WorkForce Software, an ADP Company. 'Of course, there's more to this workplace shift isn't just about age—it includes mindset, values, communication style and expectations around leadership and work.' As the workforce continues to shift, an awareness of generational dynamics will help make the handoff as smooth as possible. It starts with appreciating what all generations bring to the table—and being honest about the common pain points of a multigenerational workforce. Gen Z in profile Familiarity with tech has always been a strength for the youngest generation. 'Many Gen Z workers are entering the workforce with complete digital fluency and experience in modern technology tools, with technology-oriented skills that many Boomers don't have,' says Moses. 'Gen Z grew up not only as digital natives but as mobile natives,' adds Dulski. 'There are a lot of things that come very naturally to Gen Z that people in other functions, and even people with more experience, should welcome.' The instant communication, personalization and ease of use that Gen Z experienced growing up have fostered similar expectations for their work lives. Moses sees this as a positive thing. 'Their level of expectation towards company technology choices often encourages businesses to continuously evaluate and enhance their tech offerings, ensuring they remain competitive and meet the evolving needs of their workforce.' Gen Z is also changing the work landscape with their personal values, one of which is a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Moses believes this will encourage companies to adopt more flexible policies and invest in modern workforce technology. 'It's all about creating a culture that prioritizes the needs and wellbeing of their employees,' he says. The etiquette elephant Despite all the great things they can bring to the workplace, Gen Z also brings an elephant to the room: their business etiquette, or lack thereof. Some managers have had such negative experiences with this generation that they're hesitant to even hire them. What's up, Zers? 'As with any generation, there will be people who are a great fit to hire and people who may not thrive in your work environment, and I think that is more about the individual rather than their generation,' says Dulski. 'My view is they just have higher expectations for what any community should feel like in general, and that's partially because they were robbed of community in a lot of ways during their formative years.' Social media may be partly responsible for the overly casual vibe some younger workers bring to work, in which case Dulski believes leaders should think about how they educate people in the values and appropriate behaviors of their company—right from the start. 'People are successful inside organizations when they do a combination of two things: delivering results and living by the values of the organization,' says Dulski. 'I do believe Gen Z can be trusted to deliver results; many have accomplished a lot of incredible things by their young age.' 'As far as the organization's values, leaders should be asking, What does bringing those values to life look like? In onboarding or orientation, perhaps you can pair new employees with a buddy at work who helps them understand that. Regardless of their generation, that will be true for any new person coming into your workplace.' More pain points Other everyday challenges that could be sabotaging multigenerational interactions at work include misaligned communication styles and varying comfort levels with technology according to Moses. 'Also, Gen Z workers often have different expectations when it comes to leadership styles, preferring a less hierarchical structure,' he says. 'They want real-time feedback rather than an annual cadence. This brings some challenges in understanding their values and adjusting to working together.' Dulski believes that the biggest pain point of a multi-generational workforce is actually one of the biggest pain points of any workforce: people need to be more intentional about understanding each other. 'If you take any group of people, they will have different preferences about things, like how they prefer to receive feedback and how they like to be appreciated,' she says. 'People need to spend time getting to know each other. If you get to understand each other first as people and then as colleagues, anyone can work well with anyone else across generations.' From manager to mentor Gen Z, already known for trends like 'conscious unbossing,' has shown a strong desire for less hierarchical authority structures. At the same time, they want to learn from those more experienced than themselves. Enter 'lateral leadership,' which simply means influencing (as a mentor) rather than commanding (as a manager). 'Leaders can help Gen Z workers thrive by shifting from a 'managing' mentality to a 'mentoring' mentality,' says Moses. 'Managing is about giving direction to employees and making sure they meet their workplace goals as well as contribute to business outcomes. 'Younger talent is responding well to mentoring; they want to know how they can grow, because they know being stagnant can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction. 'This is why mentorship resonates so strongly with this generation,' says Moses. Gen Z also feels they have insights to share that will help their older counterparts. 'The concept of reverse mentorship first gained popularity among corporate workforces and has recently emerged in deskless industries, creating space for entry-level workers to learn from and lead alongside their seasoned peers,' says Moses. 'This approach helps enhance the dynamic between new hires and long-term employees, helping new hires feel like they are valued, contributing collaborators from day one.' 'If we're open-minded we can learn from anyone in any generation,' adds Dulski. Struggle or thrive: our choice To navigate the massive generational shift taking place at work, Dulski says that leaders must see themselves as coaches who know each team member and how to bring out their best contribution. This can only happen by spending time together. 'There is a lot of uniqueness to each generation, and that brings some challenges in understanding each other,' she says. 'It also brings a tremendous opportunity and a wealth of perspectives and experiences into the workplace that can make us all better and stronger if we leverage the unique talents and insights of each generation.' Moses agrees. 'There are many benefits with multigenerational workforces, such as diverse perspectives for different projects and valuable reverse mentorship opportunities; all of these create stronger, more adaptable teams.' Whether we feel ready or not, the generational shift is happening. Depending on how we approach the younger generations, we can struggle or thrive through it. It's our choice.
