ALS EARNS AWARD FOR EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
Thankful to be employed and appreciated by their company, employees of Assisted Living Services Inc. (ALS) in Cheshire helped honor ALS as an outstanding national workplace by the Great Place to Work Institute, an independent research and consulting firm.
The certification process considered more than 1,000 employee surveys from across ALS”™ locations in Cheshire, Fairfield and Clinton. The survey 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 employee completion of the Trust Index© Survey that asked them to share their experiences.
“We are grateful for our fantastic team that was instrumental in helping us to once again earn recognition for our positive culture,” said Mario D”™Aquila, chief operating officer, ALS. “The core of our mission is to provide exceptional care for clients, so naturally we care for our employees the same way. In addition to sharing their job satisfaction, the feedback they provided will also help us run our business more strategically.”
D”™Aquila noted the family-owned homecare agency has garnered several high-profile awards this year, including earning a position on the annual Inc. 5000 list for 2020, which ranks the nation”™s fastest-growing private companies. Assisted Living Services was the only Connecticut company in the health industry category. Also, Home Care Pulse selected ALS as a recipient of three of its top awards: Provider of Choice, Employer of Choice and Leader in Excellence.
ALS employs more than 400 caregivers across the state, all of whom are insured, bonded and supervised. D”™Aquila notes the company is actively hiring as the demand for at-home care continues to grow.
