What is the World’s Best Culture Certification?
Awarded by Drive, a consultancy firm specializing in senior living culture, The World’s Best Culture Certification recognizes aging services organizations that have fostered an exceptional workplace culture. This distinction is based on the Culture Values Assessment from Barrett Values Centre. While Drive is the leading senior living organization using this comprehensive tool, the Culture Values Assessment has evaluated thousands of renowned companies worldwide, including Mastercard, Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Volvo. Barrett Values Centre’s four million culture assessments and 25 years of data offer a robust benchmark for measuring organizational culture.
Dayspring Villa Team Members Share Their Feedback
The Culture Values Assessment allows team members to share their personal values, the current values of our community, and desired values of their ideal workplace. Once this feedback is gathered, a culture score is calculated that reflects the health and strength of our workplace based on the alignment of these three sets of values. For Dayspring, these results provide a foundation for continuous growth, unity, and overall well-being by emphasizing what is working well and identifying opportunities for improvement.
“Our commitment to ongoing improvement is evident in our score and is accomplished through collaborative efforts. The whole team at Dayspring Villa is proud of these values, and we look forward to our progressive growth as a community.”
– Anne Marie Gill
Dayspring Villa’s Culture Score
To earn the prestigious World’s Best Culture Certification, an organization must score a minimum of 70 on the Culture Values Assessment. To provide context, the Global average is 55 and Drive’s senior living communities average is 69. Dayspring Villa has exceeded this threshold, achieving an exceptional culture score of 81. This score affirms Dayspring Villa’s outstanding workplace culture within the senior living field, while also separating it from companies across various sectors worldwide.
In analyzing the survey results from the Dayspring Villa team, we found that our community’s top current values are caring, accountability, and continuous learning. These values are a genuine reflection of both our individual team members and the camaraderie built by the team as a whole.
“Applying globally recognized culture measurements to aging services means those organizations earning this high distinction have the caring heart of a senior living provider AND the culture of a world-class business leader.”
– Denise Boudreau, Founder & President at Drive.
