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. Rankings are based on employees’ experiences, no matter who they are or what they do.
When asked about the certification, CEO Tony Berardi said, “We here at Laurel Lake strive to create a strong work culture where employees look forward to coming to work, feel valued, and have a strong sense of pride in what they do.”
