Juniper Village at Aurora Named Great Place to Work®

Juniper Village at Aurora, part of Juniper Communities, announces it has once again been certified as a Great Place to Work®. Year after year, Juniper Villages have consistently been recognized with this award. The September 2023 – September 2024 recognition, from the independent analysts at the Great Place to Work® Institute, involves surveys submitted to impartial evaluators. Juniper’s associates highlighted that their workplaces offer an environment where associates are given a great deal of responsibility, and include jobs that have special meaning, make a difference, create a sense of pride, and contribute to the community. Juniper’s associates noted the strength of the mental and emotional connection they feel toward their jobs, and most often cited their work with residents as the reason Juniper is a great place to work.

The certification process considered associate surveys from each of Juniper’s community locations. Great Place to Work®, an independent research and consulting firm, evaluated more than 60 elements of team members’ experience on the job. Rankings are based on all associates’ experiences, regardless of what they do. Great Place to Work® certification is one of the most prestigious achievements for any organization across the globe.

A total of 20 individual Juniper community locations, including the Aurora location, achieved certification. Great Place to Work® certification is, most of all, recognition of Juniper’s on-going commitment to its associates. Over Juniper’s 35-year history, they have implemented programs that foster associate engagement, focus on associate life-long learning, and support associates’ work-life balance.

Juniper Village at Aurora Executive Director Bonnie Carbajal stated, “An associate’s motivation is the direct result of the positive interactions and reinforcement made not only with his or her manager but the whole team. We are what we repeatedly do and represent who we are through excellence in the workplace. We treat our associates exactly the way we want them to treat our residents.”
