NSSC joins the ranks of ‘Best & Brightest Companies to Work For’
North Shore Senior Center (NSSC) is recognized as a “Best & Brightest” company to work for, according to the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).
Only companies that distinguish themselves as having the most innovative business acuteness and human resource practices can be bestowed this honor.
“The day I first walked through the doors in 2019 as the new executive director of NSSC, I knew I was becoming part of an organization with a strong national reputation for its impact on older adults and their families,” said Tish Rudnicki.
“What I didn’t fully grasp at the time was the extraordinary passion and dedication of the staff — commitment that goes above and beyond in serving more than 24,000 older adults in 26 communities in Chicago’s northern suburbs,” she added.
The winning companies were assessed by an independent research firm, which reviewed several key measures relative to other nationally recognized winners.
The categories applicants were scored on include Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Creative Wellness and Wellbeing Solutions, Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment and Selection; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Work-Life Blend; Community Initiatives and Corporate Responsibility; and Leadership, Strategy and Company Performance.
Jennifer Kluge, president and CEO of NABR and the Best & Brightest programs, highlighted that “these companies have prioritized making a significant impact on their culture.
“With a focus on their employees as the top priority, this powerful community of the nation's elite leaders have gained a competitive edge.”
“Being a nonprofit workplace today is challenging,” noted NSSC Human Resources Director Meredith Wach. “We realize the importance of a healthy work culture and do what we can to provide our employees with development and continuing education opportunities and work-life balance options.”
