ORLANDO, Fla., March 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Holiday Retirement was recently certified as a great workplace by the independent analysts at Great Place to Work Institute®. Holiday Retirement earned this credential based on extensive ratings provided by its associates in anonymous surveys.
“We have focused on associate engagement for the past year, and have put a significant amount of work into making sure associates see the opportunities they have not only at Holiday, but in senior living,” said Lilly Donohue, Holiday Retirement’s CEO. “This recognition validates the efforts of our associates to help older people live better and age more successfully while staying independent for as long as possible.”
“We know having happy and engaged associates is going to drive customer satisfaction which is why I am thrilled with the results of our first-time participation in this survey with Great Place to Work. It’s a win-win for our residents and for our associates.”
The study was centered on a trust index score based on positive results in the five dimensions of trust: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie. Results will be used to formulate actionable plans to increase employee retention and raise employee engagement and financial performance.
"We applaud Holiday Retirement for seeking certification and releasing its employees' feedback," said Dr. Jacquelyn Kung, CEO of Great Place to Work's senior care affiliate Activated Insights. "These ratings measure its capacity to earn its own employees' trust and create a great workplace - critical metrics that anyone considering working for or doing business with Holiday Retirement should take into account as an indicator of high performance."
“According to our study, 76 percent of Holiday Retirement employees say it is a great workplace,” says analysts at Great Place to Work.
Holiday Retirement employees completed 7,075 surveys, resulting in a 95 percent confidence level and a margin of error of less than ± 5 percent.
