Newport Healthcare, the nation’s leading provider of evidence-based behavioral health treatment for youth, young adults, and families, is proud to announce that it has earned Certification™ as a Great Place To Work® for the third straight year. The prestigious Great Place To Work® award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Newport Healthcare. Results from surveying the company’s 3,500+ employees indicate that the percentage of them who consider Newport a great place to work is 8% higher than the average U.S. company.
“We are grateful for our outstanding, talented workforce and their contributions to this life-changing work, and we feel honored that they consider Newport Healthcare a Great Place to Work®,” said Joe Procopio, CEO of Newport Healthcare. “This great achievement is underscored by our commitment to continuous improvement. We utilize feedback from these surveys and our culture of open and direct communication, collaboration, and problem-solving to continue to raise the bar.”
He adds, “Working in behavioral and mental health care can be rewarding yet challenging, and when employees express fulfillment, it naturally flows into providing the highest quality care for our clients and families.”
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading success, employee retention, and increased innovation. According to the organization’s research and Great Place To Work Model, a great workplace is defined by four qualities: employees trust the people they work for; take genuine pride in their work; enjoy collaborating with their colleagues; and experience a consistent workplace atmosphere, irrespective of their role, identity, or position within the organization.
“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement, and by earning this recognition, it is evident that Newport Healthcare stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work.
