In August, Associa was certified as a great workplace by the independent analysts at Great Place to Work for the fourth consecutive year. Associa is the industry’s largest community management company. With more than 200 branch offices across North America, Associa delivers unsurpassed management and lifestyle services to nearly 5 million residents worldwide. Associa’s more than 10,000 team members lead the industry with unrivaled education, expertise, and trailblazing innovation. For more than 40 years, Associa has provided solutions designed to help communities achieve their vision.

The Great Place to Work certification is based on direct feedback from employees, which is provided as part of an extensive and anonymous survey about the workplace experience. This year’s survey revealed that 82% of Associa employees say that Associa is a great place to work, which is a three-point rise from last year. The survey and ratings system are based on more than 25 years of global research that the Great Place to Work Institute has created to determine what makes great workplaces from employees’ perspectives, and how companies can improve their workplace environments.

Despite the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on working conditions across North America this year, 94% of employees indicated that Associa is a physically safe place to work. While safety has always been a focus, Associa teams have worked diligently to respond to the pandemic and ensure the health and well-being of employees.

“It is an honor to receive the Great Place to Work certification for the fourth year in a row, as Associa is consistently working toward improving our employee experience,” according to Chelle O’Keefe, Associa Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. “We truly believe that our employees are our company’s greatest asset, so receiving this designation celebrates our continued dedication to creating a company culture that celebrates our team members, their talent, and their contributions to our success.”

“We congratulate Associa on their certification,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Best Workplace List Research at Great Place to Work. “Organizations that earn their employees’ trust create great workplace cultures that deliver outstanding business results.”
