Vi Ranked No. 3 of 25 Companies On The List Of 2022 Best Workplaces in Aging Services™, Recognized For A Fourth Year
CHICAGO, Sep. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Vi, a leading national developer, owner and operator of high-end continuing care retirement communities, announced today that it has been honored on the list of 2022 Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ by Great Places to Work® and Fortune magazine. The Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ is a highly competitive list that is based on more than 243,000 employees' feedback submitted from Great Place to Work-Certified™ organizations. Recognized for the fourth year on the prestigious national list, Vi ranked No. 3 of 25 companies and is one of 35 companies making a repeat appearance.
As the global authority on workplace culture, Great Place to Work® selects its Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ list using confidential employee feedback, through a survey of more than 60 elements of team members' experiences on the job, and rigorous analytics. To qualify for the list, companies must already be considered a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization, which Vi's entire senior living community portfolio achieved in May 2022, along with its corporate headquarters in Chicago.
"We are honored and humbled that Vi has been recognized again as one of the very best places to work in the growing Aging Services industry," said Gary Smith, Vi's President and CEO. "We do not take this honor for granted. We are committed to ensuring that our team members feel valued and appreciated for the exceptional service and quality care they provide our residents. We are grateful to our valued team members and Great Place to Work® for this distinction."
Great Place to Work® is the only company culture award in America that uses rigorous methodology to gather and evaluate employee feedback and recognize companies who have built high-trust, high-performance environments. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.
Vi continues to attract, cultivate, and retain top talent, with over 30 percent of employees serving 10 or more years with the company, some of the highest employee-retention rates in the senior living industry. This has been achieved through an array of employee-focused initiatives and programs, to ensure workers' needs are recognized throughout the entire organization.
"Vi Senior Living is a great example of how strong leadership and a commitment to employee engagement can create an organization where employees can grow and thrive," Dr. Jacquelyn King, Activated Insights' CEO, said. "Activated Insights is a proud partner of Vi and is thrilled to see that their hard work – as recognized by their employees – has earned them a spot on the 2022 FORTUNE Best Workplaces in Aging Services List™."
In May, Vi introduced ViHive, a proprietary, company-wide employee communication app, to help employees at all levels stay informed, connected, and engaged. Leveraging employee feedback, the custom-designed app shares the latest happenings across the organization, including community and company events, new team member introductions, new training tools and a variety of career- and benefit-related resources. The two-way communication structure ensures employees' voices are heard and valued, which directly impacts job satisfaction and retention.
In 2021, Vi introduced LifeSpeak® to provide employees real-time access to mental health and total well-being resources through a comprehensive mobile app. Vi also offers employees a wide range of training and development programs, including tuition reimbursement, free language training, an array of company-paid certification courses, career ladders, leadership development programs as well as access to Vi's online university, E-Campus.
