Edina, MN, June 25, 2017—Lifespark has been named one of the Top Workplaces in Minnesota by the Star Tribune for the seventh time. A complete list of those selected was published in the Star Tribune Top Workplaces special section.
Produced by the same team that compiles the 26-year-old Star Tribune 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Minnesota, Top Workplaces recognizes the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health and satisfaction. The analysis included responses from over 69,000 employees at Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations.
The results of the Star Tribune Top Workplaces are based on survey information collected by WorkplaceDynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention.
“We are honored to receive culture awards like Top Workplace because it means we are on the road to doing the right things for our people,” said Joel Theisen, RN, CEO & Founder of Lifespark. “That’s not to say it’s easy because with fast growth comes workforce challenges and we do our best to stay ahead of those. But it also comes down to our people who move with these challenges, communicate their frustrations, and as a company, come together to solve these solutions with open and transparent conversations. I am deeply proud to be among this group of purple sparkers. They have the passion and scrappiness to do amazing things for our senior population.’
Star Tribune Publisher Michael J. Klingensmith said, “The companies in the Star Tribune Top Workplaces deserve high praise for creating the very best work environments in the state of Minnesota. My congratulations to each of these exceptional companies.”
To qualify for the Star Tribune Top Workplaces, a company must have more than 50 employees in Minnesota. Over 2,000 companies were invited to participate. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.
