Business North Carolina has recognized Covenant Village as one of the top 10 “Best Large Employers” in North Carolina. In a workforce climate where employee retention is critical, the best companies are investing in their workforce beyond traditional benefits and paid time off. Senior Director of Human Resources Jenn Barker says Covenant Village focuses on building a workforce culture that puts people first by helping employees reach their full potential through educational scholarships, assistance when staff members face hardship, opportunities to foster camaraderie at wellness events and competitions, and service to others outside the workplace.

In addition to a competitive benefits package, this past year, Covenant Village granted ten Employee “Wishes,” ranging from an ice cream party to driving a sports car to work to additional PTO. To encourage young people to consider careers in senior living, those who work for a year receive a scholarship of at least $1,000 to continue their education.

“This recognition highlights how our staff and residents have created a culture that places respect, compassion, safety, and possibilities at the forefront. We thank Business North Carolina for affirming their efforts and Covenant Village’s commitment to being the place Where Life Is Filled With Promise,” said CEO Dale Melton.
