CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Commonwealth Senior Living announces that it has been certified as a Great Place to Work® by the Great Place to Work Institute for a third year in a row. Great Place to Work, an independent research and consulting firm, evaluated more than 60 elements of team members’ experience on the job. These included employee pride in the organization’s community impact, belief that their work makes a difference, and feeling their work has special meaning. These ratings measure the organizations capacity to earn its own employees’ trust and create a great workplace for high performance.
“At Commonwealth Senior Living we have always believed in empowering our associates to do the right thing, take ownership and add value, and speak up,” said Earl Parker, CEO of Commonwealth Senior Living. “Those traits helped define our core values that guide our strategic direction and make us an award-winning provider of care and services for our residents. Earning this certification for a third consecutive year provides validation that our team believes that Commonwealth is a Great Place to Work!”
CSL has grown into one of the largest senior living providers in the Southeast with 34 communities, with the capacity to serve more than 2,500 residents, and employing almost 2,000 associates. The company has always believed in an inverted organization chart, putting front line associates, who are closest to residents and their families, at the top. This approach provides greater decision-making authority and freedom of action. The manager becomes a facilitator spearheading a team effort.
