We’re Proud to Announce Five Star Senior Living has been honored with a Great Place to Work certification!

Great Place to Work Institute and its senior care partner Activated Insights have certified Five Star Senior Living as a Great Place to Work. This achievement is a huge honor — one that we’re excited to celebrate, because it’s based on real opinions from our team members and is a testament of our commitment to our People Promise. We believe that by ensuring that we are a great place to work for our team members, we are also creating a great place to live for our residents.

Great Place to Work Certification criteria are the global standard for quantifying and benchmarking the employee experience. Using the Great Place To Work Trust Model and the Trust Index Survey, Certification evaluates workplace culture from the perspective that matters the most — the employee — offering the most comprehensive picture on the market of the internal health of an organization.

To be considered for Certification, organizations must have 10 or more employees and must complete a two-step process:

1. Survey employees with the Trust Index Survey
2. Complete the Culture Brief™, a company questionnaire

Positive employee responses to the Trust Index Survey (four and above on the five-point scale) are averaged to provide an organization-wide assessment of culture: the Trust Index. Companies that score above the current threshold become Great Place to Work Certified.

Surveys must meet strict requirements for how they are distributed and the percentage of employees who respond to ensure they accurately represent feedback from the company’s full population.
