Senior living organization Brio Living Services, formerly United Methodist Retirement Communities (UMRC) & Porter Hills, is proud to announce that it has been named to the 2024 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-two consecutive years.
This national program honors organizations that distinguish themselves as having the most innovative business acuteness and human resources practices, according to Jennifer Kluge, president and CEO of NABR and the Best & Brightest Programs. “These winning companies are truly innovative in their employee engagement execution and have prioritized making a significant impact on their culture. With a focus on their employees as the top priority, this powerful community of the nation’s elite leaders have gained a competitive edge,” she said in a press release.
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, creative wellness and well-being solutions, and work-life blend to name a few. NABR identifies best human resource practices and provides bench marking 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 twenty-second year in a row, but also a Best and Brightest organization in the nation for two years running,” said Brio Living Services Chief Human Resources Officer Michelle Henderson. “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.”
Brio Living Services President & CEO Steve Fetyko added, “This award is incredibly meaningful because it is based directly on the feedback of our team members on their experience at Brio. This is a wonderful way to recognize the thousands of incredible ways our team members bring our mission to life each and every day and the positive difference they make in the lives of the people we serve.”
This year’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® will be featured in the Wall Street Journal as well as in Corp! Magazine’s December 2024 All Best and Brightest Winners’ issue.
