VERO
BEACH, Fla., June 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For the seventh consecutive
year, Pelican Landing Assisted Living and Memory Care celebrates
their certification as a Great Place to Work® under the
operational management of Watercrest Senior Living. Great
Place to Work® certification is 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."
Pelican Landing is an award-winning senior living community
operated by Watercrest Senior Living and prestigiously recognized
by U.S. News & World Report as a 2024-25 Best Memory Care
Community. U.S. News awards the designation only to those
communities that achieved the highest possible rating for Memory
Care.
Prior to hiring at Pelican Landing, candidates complete a
thorough behavioral based interview process to discover how their
values align with the Watercrest mission and vision. Selected
candidates 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.
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.
"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.
