WALNUT CREEK, CA – For the second year in a row, Sequoia has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by The Oregonian. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools. The anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.“Top Workplaces is more than just recognition,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement.”
“We feel that if our team members are happy and if they feel like they’re contributing to our ultimate purpose, then that will translate to a really great experience for our residents,” said Tammy Georgantes, Vice President of Customer Experience, at Sequoia. Building upon that sentiment is Sequoia’s Vice President of Human Resources, Enrica Suson, who stated, “We really focus on the development of our team members. In our company culture, it’s a given that when there’s an opportunity for a team member to attend a training event, they go and do it.”
“Becoming a Top Workplace isn’t something organizations can buy,” Claffey said. “It’s an achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It’s a big deal.”
“On behalf of Sequoia, we are honored to be named one of the top employers for the Pacific Northwest for the second year in a row,” said Suson. “We can’t thank each of our team members enough for their contributions and making sure to Elevate the Everyday for their residents and community.”
