The Aspenwood Company Earns Fifth Consecutive Spot on Fortune’s 2024 List of Best Workplaces for Aging Services
We’re pleased to announce our inclusion once again on the 2024 Forbes Best Workplaces for Aging Services list. Aspenwood improved its position among its peers, moving from 15th to seventh on the list.
“This recognition is a testament to the exceptional quality of our team members and the role they play in helping older adults and their families live life well,” said Aspenwood President Heather Tussing. “Throughout our company, team members are driven by empathy and a genuine passion for serving others. You can really feel the difference when you visit one of our communities.”
To determine its rankings, Fortune partners with the people analytics firm Great Place To Work® to analyze the anonymous survey feedback of more than 181,000 U.S. employees working in senior housing and care and at-home care in the aging services industry. Great Place To Work has been surveying employees around the world about their workplace experiences for 30 years.
Using its proprietary Trust Index™ survey, Great Place To Work measures the core of what they know creates great workplaces—key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. Employees can share honestly and confidentially their feedback on company culture, whether leaders are accessible and communicate honestly and clearly, and if their actions match their words. They say whether they feel respected as individuals and if they receive support for their wellbeing and personal development.
“What makes this feedback so important to us is that it gives us an outside assessment of how well we’re doing in living our aspiration and creating the kind of culture I think we all want to enjoy at work,” said Tussing. “Everyone wants to feel purposeful and valued in their work, engaged with and supported by their fellow team members and leadership, and be given opportunities to grow and become better human beings. Our people want and deserve it.”
