WCI began in 1959 as an employer association, focused on helping member organizations build and perpetuate “postive employee relationships” in their workplaces. Starting with thirteen companies in six counties, WCI has grown to servicing more than 800 worksites. While Western North Carolina is the principal geographic area of our membership, members are now also located in South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Our Mission is two-fold:

First, to help our members develop a relationship with their employees which promotes harmony and engagement in the workplace; one that fosters alignment between employee goals and the organizations goals and objectives.

Second, to resist outside attempts by any third party to interfere with that relationship or add burdensome cost or regulation to conducting the affairs of their business.
