Awards and Appreciation, Beyond the Badge

CRC staff bring loved ones to work

California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) at Norco held a Take Your Loved Ones to Work event for family and friends, giving them tours of the institution and demonstrating jobs.

California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) at Norco held a Bring Your Loved Ones to Work staff event for family and close friends.

CRC administration and management toured the loved ones around designated areas where various staff illustrated their general responsibilities through interactive demonstrations. This allowed them to showcase their area’s current and future endeavors.

The guests learned about the general day-to-day operations of Plant Operations, Healthcare, Custody, and Education. They also learned about services available to staff from California Correctional Supervisors Organization, California Chaplain Corps, and local Peer Support teams.

“We wanted to invite staff to bring their family and loved ones into the workplace,” said Warden Leo Quiroz. “(This way they could) experience and gain a better perspective of what a day (looks like). We felt we achieved that. Hopefully (we) helped foster a better understanding of what our industrious work environment entails and ways family and friends can better support loved ones working at CRC.”

Similar to Bring Your Kids to Work Day, this event was geared toward adults.
