Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care Provider Only 'Largest' Employer to Make List Every Year

WALTHAM, Mass.  , Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- , the largest senior housing provider in New England, today announced it has been selected as one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts for the 17th straight year following an employee-based survey. Benchmark is the only "largest employer" (over 1,000 employees) to make the annual list every year it's been given.

Top Places to Work recognizes the most admired workplaces in the state as voted on by the people who know them best—their employees. To create the list, more than 68,000 employees at 323 Massachusetts organizations were surveyed, measuring opinions about their company's direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay, benefits and engagement.

"At Benchmark, we believe our residents and family members enjoy the best experiences because our associates truly feel fulfilled, supported and believe they're part of something very special," said Tom Grape, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark. He added that the company is committed to its associates' physical and emotional wellness, providing opportunities to grow, be heard, and have their achievements recognized.

"We are honored to have been recognized since the list's inception and to, once again, be among other innovative Massachusetts companies," Grape added.

Benchmark appears on the 2024 list, which was published on December 4, with some of New England's most respected organizations. Bright Horizons, MassMutual and Sun Life are just some of the other companies selected to appear on the "largest employer" list.

"The best employers pay attention to the many ways work changes – and the many ways it stays the same – and figure out how to keep people engaged and motivated through it all," said Katie Johnston, the Globe's Top Places to Work editor.

In addition to The Globe list, The Great Place to Work Institute certified Benchmark for seven straight years, and the company has been FORTUNE's 2024 50 Best Workplaces in Aging Services for six years.

Besides a comprehensive employee benefits package, Benchmark offers a wide variety of educational programs, including Benchmark University, associate incentives and support programs like the Benchmark One Company Fund and recognition and inclusion programs designed to sustain its award-winning culture of caring.
