The United Group of Companies, Inc. is thrilled to announce that we have earned recognition as a Top Workplace USA for the fifth consecutive year, and on a local level, we’ve also been named a Top Workplace in the New York Capital Region for the ninth consecutive year, as recognized by the Albany Times Union. These prestigious distinctions acknowledge companies across the nation that cultivate an environment of support, growth, and success. We are proud to be counted among these exceptional organizations, and this consistent recognition year-over-year speaks to the strength of our company culture and the incredible contributions of our team members.
United Group is also proud to share that we have been honored with a Spring Culture Excellence Award in the “Purpose & Values” category from Top Workplaces. This award celebrates organizations that have successfully communicated their company mission and seamlessly integrated those values into their culture. We are incredibly proud to be recognized for fostering a workplace that reflects our core beliefs and purpose.
Our achievements are made possible by the valuable feedback we receive from our employees. To earn recognition as a Top Workplace USA, our team participated in a comprehensive survey conducted by Energage, an independent research firm. The survey assessed factors such as employee engagement, communication, and alignment with our business values. Similarly, for our recognition in the Capital Region, employees provided insights into our company culture, values, and growth opportunities — all essential elements that contribute to the supportive work environment we strive to maintain.
We are immensely grateful to our dedicated team members for making this possible and for continuing to contribute to the success and vibrancy of our workplace.
Here’s to many more years of growth, purpose, and excellence at United Group!
“Employee engagement is the emotional connection and commitment that an employee has towards their work, co-workers, and organization which lays the foundation for, and shapes, our culture. As a Company, we have always strived to improve our employees’ experiences, understanding that it has a direct impact on their productivity, resident and tenant satisfaction, and our ability to grow our business and continue to attract top talent. To keep our employees highly engaged, they need to feel understood, and most importantly, listened to. Their feedback is what provides us with our direction and motivation to always want to “do better.” - Joan Cavanaugh, Chief Human Resources Officer.
