For the second year in a row, we are proud to announce that Holly Creek earned the World’s Best Culture Certification from Drive. This recognition has team members and residents beaming with pride for fostering an outstanding workplace culture, deeply rooted in the values of our parent organization, Christian Living Communities.
What is the World’s Best Culture Certification?
Drive’s World’s Best Culture Certification recognizes senior living organizations for their exceptional workplace culture by using the Culture Values Assessment by Barrett Values Centre. This comprehensive tool has evaluated thousands of companies worldwide, including renowned organizations such as Mastercard, Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Volvo. With over four million culture assessments and 25 years of data, the Barrett Values Centre provides a robust benchmark for measuring organizational culture.
In the Culture Values Assessment, team members share their personal values, the current values of our community, and the desired values of their ideal workplace. The results are then used to calculate a culture score, reflecting the strength and health of an organization based on the alignment of these values. For Holly Creek, these results serve as a foundation for cultivating growth, unity, and overall well-being through reinforcing what works and addressing any dysfunctions within the workplace.
“What an amazing achievement!” stated Michelle Fraternali, Executive Director at Holly Creek. “Our community is honored to receive this certification again. Last year, our team committed to digging into the results to not only ensure that we upheld our current values, but that we were able to learn from those results and continue to improve our culture. I am excited to celebrate this accomplishment and look forward to the continual growth of our community!”
Holly Creek’s World’s Best Culture Score
To receive a World’s Best Culture certification, an organization must achieve a minimum of 70 on the Culture Values Assessment. For reference, the Global Average is 55, the Healthcare Average is 50, and Drive’s senior living communities average is 64. Last year, Holly Creek surpassed this benchmark with a score of 86. This year, Holly Creek has improved by receiving an outstanding culture score of 88. This increase in score affirms Holly Creek’s phenomenal workplace culture not only within the senior living field but sets it apart from companies across various sectors worldwide. This recognition affirms Holly Creek’s commitment to cultivating an exceptional work environment, reflecting its dedication to excellence and employee satisfaction.
“Applying globally recognized culture measurements to aging services means those organizations earning this high distinction have the caring heart of a senior living provider AND the culture of a world-class business leader,” said Denise Boudreau, Drive Founder & President.
“Holly Creek’s top current values and desired values are in alignment,” shared Fraternali. “Accountability, teamwork, employee recognition, resident satisfaction, and caring are all things we strive to excel at and will continue to improve.”
A Bright Future at Holly Creek
The World’s Best Culture Certification is a significant achievement for our team at Holly Creek. This recognition has instilled a profound sense of pride among residents and team members and has motivated all of us to continually contribute to our vibrant community culture. We look forward to the opportunities that this certification will bring in strengthening our community and services by connecting with job seekers who share our values. In the face of workforce challenges both nationally and within the senior living field, this certification demonstrates that Holly Creek is an amazing place to live and work!
