Boston, MA - November 8 – Brightview Senior Living has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the third annual employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe. The Top Places to Work 2010 magazine was published in the Sunday Globe on November 7. Online, the report can be found at www.boston.com/topworkplaces.
The Top Places to Work recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values and ethics. Private companies and nonprofits as well as publicly-held businesses were included in the analysis.
This year the rankings were organized into three categories: Large, Midsize, and Small companies. Brightview Senior Living was ranked 31 in the midsize category.
The Globe invited 1,160 employers to participate in the third annual Top Places to Work. Of those, 236 organizations went all the way through the process, allowing us to conduct a confidential survey of their workers. Research partner WorkplaceDynamics of Exton, Pa., specialists in employee engagement and retention, contacted more than 133,000 employees at those companies, and received completed surveys from 82,000 individuals. Each was asked to grade their organization’s performance according to 23 distinct statements, ranging from “This organization demonstrates it values employees during difficult times ’’ to “It’s easy to tell my boss the truth.’’
Brightview Senior Living President Marilynn Duker said, “Congratulations to the Brightview teams of Concord River, Country Club Heights, Danvers, and New Pond Village for achieving this prestigious recognition for the second consecutive year. To be recognized as a winner of The Boston Globe’s Top 100 Places to Work project is a testament to their daily efforts to create vibrant senior living communities that are both great places to live and great places to work.”
The publisher of The Boston Globe Chris Mayer stated, “Each of the companies included in the Top Places to Work 2010 deserve recognition for creating a positive workplace for their employees. Their accomplishment adds to the vitality of this state’s business environment.”
To qualify for the Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work, a company must have more than 100 employees in Massachusetts. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.
