Brightview named one of ‘Best Workplaces for Women’

Brightview Senior Living, a leader in senior living that builds, owns and operates more than 40 senior living communities along the east coast, including Brightview Canton, is thrilled to announce it has been recognized as one of the 2019 Best Workplaces for Women by FORTUNE and Great Place to Work.

Brightview is ranked No. 48 and is the only senior living company on the nationwide list, which features such notable workplaces as Hilton, Wegmans and Cisco. The list is based on anonymous survey feedback representing more than 4.6 million U.S. employees from Great Place to Work-Certified companies across all industries. The recognition comes on the heels of Brightview Senior Living being named the Number One Best Workplace for Aging Services 2019.

“At Brightview Senior Living, we believe that when we can create a workplace where our associates are excited to come each day, that spirit and genuine happiness will trickle down to our residents — creating an ecosystem of positivity,” said Marilynn Duker, CEO of Brightview Senior Living. “The women who work for Brightview are at the heart of this ecosystem. To be recognized with a Best Workplaces for Women award is a true honor and a testament to our dedication to giving women the resources to grow and thrive.”

This award is especially poignant because Duker was the first associate to join Brightview’s predecessor company in 1982. Since then, she has cultivated a culture of inclusivity that has paved the way for other female associates to rise in the ranks. Teams in the company with female leaders at the helm include sales, marketing, technology, clinical care, resident programming, accounting and finance, learning and development, and regional operations. In fact, Brightview’s female associates make up an incredible 79 percent of the company’s workforce.

Brightview female associates completed a 60-question Trust Index survey about the workplace and how fairly their experiences rank to men’s reports of the same workplaces. “Getting a confirmation that the women who work for Brightview Senior Living feel invested and valued is what it’s all about for me,” Duker added.
