Cedar Crest Claims Top Spot on NJ.Com 2019 Top Workplaces List

Cedar Crest, a developed and managed Erickson Living retirement community in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, claimed the top spot on the NJ.com 2019 Top Workplaces list in the large company category. In addition, Cedar Crest won the "Meaningful Impact" award.

"Cedar Crest is honored to be ranked the Top Workplace in New Jersey and to win the 'Meaningful Impact' award," said Executive Director Todd DeLaney.  "At Cedar Crest, employees experience a purposeful career where their contributions have a meaningful impact on the lives of seniors and their families. Supporting a committed, diverse, and engaged team is essential for creating a community that is a great place to live and work." 

The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, 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."

"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."
