Primrose Retirement Communities earns employee award

ABERDEEN, SD — Primrose Retirement Communities, LLC has as earned a 2020 Employee Approved award from Lincoln, Nebraska–based healthcare-intelligence firm NRC Health. The award recognizes senior-care organizations across the country for engaging and inspiring their employees.

“It’s quite an honor to have Primrose be chosen by its employees for the culture that we have here.  We are very appreciative of everything our staff does and for them helping us win this award,” said Jim Thares, Founder and CEO.

Only twenty Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing organizations earned this remarkable distinction and Primrose placed 13th in the nation for Outstanding Culture. Winners were selected according to the results from NRC Health’s 2019 Employee Experience Survey. To qualify, organizations must have a high percentage of respondents willing to recommend their locations as places to work. This measure is known as the Net Promoter Score (NPS), and it strongly correlates with employee engagement, organizational loyalty, and job satisfaction.

“We are proud to honor those senior living organizations who continue to provide outstanding work experiences for their employees,” said Helen Hrdy, Chief Growth Officer of NRC Health. “We commend these organizations for supporting a work environment dedicated to the success of their staff.”

“We have over 1700 employees across the company, and I think this award is a testament to the culture at every single one of our communities.  We know that our employees are our most important resource, and we thank them for this award.  The passion that our teams have to serve, especially those on the front lines, is our most important resource,” said BJ Schaefbauer, President.
