The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Names Jewish Senior Life a Winner of the Rochester Metro Area 2017 Top Workplaces Award

ROCHESTER, N.Y.— APRIL 7, 2017 — Jewish Senior Life has been named a 2017 Top Workplace by The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of a confidential employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

The organization was also recognized with the “Doers Award,” having received standout ratings by its employees for “doing things efficiently and well.”

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”

“We’re honored to receive the Top Workplaces award, especially because the judges were our own employees. A heartfelt ‘thank you’ to our staff, which is making such a difference in the lives of those we serve,” said Mike King, President and CEO of Jewish Senior Life. “Older adults are able to live even more meaningful lives with choice and dignity when they’re supported like a team that feels like family. More than just caring for people, we care about them.”

Jewish Senior Life is one of the largest non-profit employers in Rochester, with more than 1,000 employees.
