WINTER PARK, Fla., Aug. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Holiday Retirement is proud to announce its inclusion in FORTUNE’s Best Workplaces for Aging Services list for a second consecutive year. Rankings are based on anonymous survey feedback from 223,183 employees in the aging services industry, with FORTUNE honoring the 50 top-performing organizations.
Great Place to Work®, a global people analytics and consulting firm, takes into consideration more than 60 elements of employee job experiences. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on what employees say about trust in their employer and experiences reaching their full potential at an organization. The remaining 15 percent encompasses daily experiences of innovation for all employees, company values, effectiveness of leaders and consistency in experience.
“Associate engagement drives better business results, and we know that highly engaged associates help older people live better. Our people are making the difference,” said Lilly Donohue, Holiday Retirement CEO. “Receiving recognition from FORTUNE and Great Place to Work demonstrates Holiday’s commitment to providing exceptional places for associates to work and communities for residents to live and thrive.”
“This organization is focused on developing talent and providing the best resources for their people,” said one associate in anonymous Great Place to Work survey feedback. “Learning on the job, formal programs, benefits, anniversary awards – we are all encouraged to share ideas, respectfully and openly share concerns, and look for creative ways to solve problems. If you want to do more, learn more, grow more, there are vast opportunities.”
Another associate added: “You feel a large sense of pride working here. Not just as an individual, but as a group. You see in the faces of the residents the difference that you make in their lives every day.”
To be considered for 2019 Best Workplaces in Aging Services, companies had to be certified by Great Place to Work. Holiday achieved certification from the Great Place to Work Institute® earlier this year, an honor also extended to 233 – 90 percent – of its independent senior living communities.
