Classic Residence by Hyatt in Highlands Ranch Wins "Best Place to Work" Award

Classic Residence by Hyatt, the leading provider of retirement living for older adults, announces its Highlands Ranch community was recently awarded one of the top five "2009 Best Companies to Work for in Colorado" in the category of medium-sized companies (100-250 employees). This comes just after the community celebrated its first year of operation.

The first anniversary was marked by a special surf and turf dinner for the residents including filet and lobster prepared by Executive Chef Greg Strickland. An appreciation party was also thrown for employees complete with a tropical theme, trivia games, and prizes.

"I couldn't be prouder of our employees. They clearly demonstrate a passion for serving older adults that has been the foundation of our company for more than 20 years," said Deann Daniel, executive director, Classic Residence by Hyatt in Highlands Ranch.

Best Place to Work award details.

The Best Companies to Work for in Colorado awards were primarily sponsored by Colorado Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) State Council, in conjunction with the six local SHRM state chapters: Boulder Area Human Resource Association (BAHRA), Colorado Human Resource Association (CHRA), Colorado Springs Society of Human Resource Management (CSSHRM), High Country Human Resource Association (HCHRA), Northern Colorado Human Resource Association (NCHRA) and Western Colorado Human Resource Association (WCHRA). The anonymous surveys focused on 10 criteria of a satisfying working environment, including team effectiveness, trust with co-workers, manager effectiveness, feeling valued, and people practices, among others.

Classic Residence by Hyatt in Highlands Ranch joins three other Classic Residence by Hyatt communities that recently won "Best Place to Work" awards. Communities in Hollywood, Florida, Reno, Nevada, and Scottsdale, Arizona, were all named one of the "Best Places to Work" in their respective locations earlier this year.
