BEACH, Fla., June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Watercrest Senior Living Group
proudly announces their seven-time consecutive certification as a
Great Place to Work® awarded by the Great Place
to Work Institute and its senior care partner Activated
Insights.
The certification process involved surveying 97% of Watercrest's
associates from locations across the southeastern United States. Dozens of elements
of team members' experience on the job were evaluated,
including the feeling of being welcomed as a new employee, the
belief that their work makes a difference, and feeling
their work has special meaning. Rankings are based on
employees' experiences, regardless of title or position.
"At Watercrest, we believe our collective values determine the
extent to which our collective vision is realized," says
Marc Vorkapich, Principal and CEO of
Watercrest Senior Living Group. "Achieving seven years of
Great Place to Work certification exemplifies our mission and unity
amongst our teams by celebrating each associate and their God-given
talents which in turn, enhances the lives of our residents.
Our associates value their impact as integral members of the
Watercrest family."
Prior to hiring, Watercrest deploys a thorough behavioral based
interview process to discover how candidates' values align with the
Watercrest mission and vision. Watercrest associates proudly
display their core value on their name badge, honoring a call to
serve seniors. In 2024, Watercrest launched a widespread campaign
across its organization entitled 'We Are Watercrest,' spurring
associates to celebrate their core values in partnership with
excellence in service. With the hashtag #WeAreWatercrest,
associates took to social media proudly showcasing their unique
contributions to their Watercrest community.
Great workplaces are defined by employees' levels of trust,
pride and camaraderie, but the best workplaces are
characterized by factors such as executive team effectiveness,
innovation experience, complexity, and financial sustainability,
all which contribute to a great workplace for associates at every
level within the organization.
In the 2024 survey, close to 90% of Watercrest associates
responded that they, "feel they make a difference," "their work has
special meaning," and "they are made to feel welcome" when joining
the company. One associate quoted, "it's unbelievable the amount of
care and support that is provided to employees and residents… It is
a great team…nothing compares to this place."
"The positive feedback from our associates reinforces our
position as one of the nation's premier senior living providers
where a strong foundation of leadership, training, and trust
encourages associate growth and an exceptional experience for our
residents," says Joanie Williams,
Principal and CFO of Watercrest Senior Living Group.
The Watercrest Senior Living Group certification of Great Place
to Work® encompasses all of
the senior living communities operating under the Watercrest Senior
Living umbrella, including Market Street Memory Care Residences,
