Senior living organization Brio Living Services, formerly United Methodist Retirement Communities (UMRC) & Porter Hills, recently announced that it has been named to the Spring 2022 list of Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).
This is in addition to its recognition earlier this spring as a Best and Brightest Company to Work For® in West Michigan, an honor Brio Living Services has earned for twenty consecutive years.
This national program honors organizations that “display a commitment to excellence in operations and employee enrichment,” according to a press release by NABR: “The Best and Brightest is a powerful community of the nation’s elite leaders who share ideas, practices, and have proven they are employers of choice. This designation is a great recruitment tool to attract and retain talent.”
The spring Best and Brightest National winners included 139 organizations nationwide out of 1,100 nominations. Winning organizations were assessed by an independent research firm that reviews a number of key measures such as compensation and benefits, employee education and development, recruitment and retention, employee achievement and recognition, and work-life blend to name a few. NABR identifies best human resource practices and provides benchmarking for companies, like Brio Living Services, that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
“We are thrilled to receive recognition as not only a Best and Brightest organization in West Michigan for the twentieth year in a row, but also a Best and Brightest organization in the nation,” said Brio Living Services Chief Human Resources Officer Michelle Henderson in a press release.
“This honor is a direct reflection of our team members at Brio Living Services who help deliver on our mission each day: Welcoming all, partnering together, enriching lives. We could not be more proud of this designation and of our dedicated team members who work tirelessly to improve the lives of older adults,” she said.
Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO of NABR and The Best and Brightest Program, said, “These 2022 winning organizations have stood out during unpredictable times and have proven they are an employer of choice. They continue to keep the needs of their employees first and provide perks that include development, well-being, work-life balance, rewards and recognition. In addition, these winning companies offer a fantastic work culture and workplace environment that attracts and retains superior employees.”
Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation winners will be honored at the virtual Illuminate Business Summit week in November 2022, as well as featured in the online edition of Corp! Magazine and in the Wall Street Journal.
