September 13, 2023: Vi, a leading national developer, owner and operator of upscale continuing care retirement communities, has once again been honored as one of the country’s top employers in the Aging Services industry. The recently announced Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ 2023 list compiled by Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine ranked Vi No. 4 out of the 25 best places to work in the Aging Services category. This is the fifth consecutive year that Vi has been recognized on this prestigious list. 

The Fortune Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ list is a highly competitive national ranking compiled from survey responses gathered from more than 168,000 employees of Great Place to Work-Certified™ organizations in the Aging Services industry. In 2023, 88% of Vi’s employees recognized Vi as a great place to work, 21% higher than a typical U.S. company.

The global authority on workplace culture, Great Place to Work® selects its Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ list using confidential employee feedback through a survey of more than 60 elements of team members’ experiences on the job, and rigorous analytics. To qualify for the list, companies must already be considered a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization.

Great Place to Work® is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they have built high trust, high-performance environments, that result in a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.

“We are pleased to work with some of the best organizations in aging services,” said Chris Magleby, Chief Strategy Officer at HCP. “These companies have proven their commitment to their employees and have worked hard to create an inclusive culture.”

Vi consistently leads the industry in employee retention by providing an array of employee focused programs and initiatives, including:

• Training and development programs, tuition reimbursement, free language training, a variety of company-paid certification courses, robust leadership development programs as well as access to Vi’s online university, E-Campus. 
• Vi Hive, a proprietary, company-wide employee communication app that employees at all levels stay informed, connected and engaged. The custom-designed app shares the latest happenings across the organization, and ensures employees’ voices are heard and valued, which directly impacts job satisfaction and retention.
• Living Well culture offers programs and services to support team members’ health and wellness.
• Diversity – Vi is committed to creating a great place to work for everyone, regardless of background. The company’s Respect, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, or REDI, commitments help ensure a welcoming and inclusive workplace for everyone, educate team members about unconscious bias, celebrate heritage events, and more. Vi recently released its inaugural REDI report, evaluating the company and culture through the REDI lens and identifying opportunities to further promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
