“This award is a direct testament to the hard work, passion, commitment and desire of our employees to make St. Tammany Parish a better place to live and work,” said President Cooper. “Most of our employees live in the same communities in which they work. This provides them with a great source of pride. Congratulations to each of our employees, Team Tammany, for this incredible honor!”

Earlier this year, employees participated in a survey regarding working for St. Tammany Parish Government, and the answers were measured in 15 different categories.

“Our employees’ responses are what earned this incredible recognition. Under my administration, we have prioritized a work-life balance and supported our employees and teammates as people – not just their title or position. We believe that St. Tammany Parish Government is a great place to work, and this recognition validates that as fact."
