Juniper Communities Certified as Great Place to Work®

Juniper Communities, one of the largest seniors housing providers with 1,260 U.S.-based employees, announces it has been certified a second time as a Great Place to Work®. The September 2020-Setember 2021 recognition from the independent analysts at the Great Place to Work® Institute involves surveys submitted to impartial evaluators. Juniper’s associates highlighted that their workplaces offer an environment where associates are given a great deal of responsibility, and include jobs that have special meaning, make a difference, create a sense of pride, and contribute to the community. Juniper associates noted the strength of the mental and emotional connection they feel toward their jobs and cited their work with residents most often as the reason Juniper Communities is a great place to work.

The certification process considered more than 1,000 employee surveys received from all of

Juniper’s community locations. Great Place to Work, an independent research and consulting firm, evaluated more than 60 elements of team members’ experience on the job. Rankings are based on all employees’ experiences, regardless of what they do. Great Place to Work® Certification is one of the most prestigious achievements for any organizations across the globe.

What is particularly compelling about Juniper’s results is that the company as a whole as well as 11 individual Juniper community locations achieved certification. Great Place to Work certification is, most of all, recognition of Juniper’s on-going commitment to its associates. Over Juniper’s 32-year history, they have implemented programs that foster associate engagement, focus on associate life-long learning, and support associates’ work-life balance.

“We simply could not accomplish what we do without our wonderful associates at Juniper,” said Lynne Katzmann, founder and CEO of Juniper Communities. “It is truly meaningful to know that our team believes so strongly that we are a Great Place to Work. Our culture continues to nurture the spirit of life for our residents and team members, and doing well by doing good motivates each of us every day. We are committed to providing our associates a living wage, continuing education, and celebration and recognition. All of this makes a real difference in associate engagement and retention; we are honored to receive repeat recognition as a Great Place to Work®.”
