At Cornerstone Management, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. Every day, our teams provide compassionate care and dedicated service to the residents and communities we serve. That’s why we’ve made employee appreciation a core part of our culture—because a thriving team leads to a thriving community.

Our Cornerstone Compass guides everything we do, including how we show gratitude to our employees. Through intentional appreciation strategies, we create a workplace where our team members feel valued, supported, and motivated to excel. Here’s how we put employee appreciation into action.

We celebrate the hard work and dedication of our employees through structured recognition programs:

• Shining Star Awards: Team members who go above and beyond are recognized with this award, celebrating their exceptional contributions.
• Milestone Celebrations: We honor work anniversaries, promotions, and career achievements, ensuring that each employee’s journey is acknowledged.
• Employee of the Month: Each community highlights an outstanding employee whose commitment exemplifies our core values.
• Leadership Quarterly Awards: Each Executive Director has the ability to achieve a leadership quarterly award by achieving their KPIs. 

Beyond recognition, we ensure our teams feel supported through meaningful perks and benefits:

• Wellness Initiatives: Supporting physical and mental well-being through wellness programs, and Employee Assistance Programs.
• Professional Development: Opportunities for continued learning, leadership training, and career growth within our organization.
• Surprise Perks: From gift cards and catered lunches to team outings, we love finding creative ways to show appreciation.

Bringing our teams together is essential for building a strong, positive culture. We celebrate through:

• Appreciation Weeks & Special Events: Whether it’s National Assisted Living Week, Nurses Week, or just a surprise celebration, we take every opportunity to celebrate our teams.
• Holiday & Seasonal Celebrations: Festive gatherings, community events, and themed dress-up days add a fun and engaging element to the workplace.
• Team Retreats & Socials: Strengthening connections through group activities, outings, and leadership retreats.

We believe that appreciation goes beyond recognition—it’s also about listening.

• Employee Feedback & Idea Sharing: We encourage open dialogue through surveys, town hall meetings, and leadership check-ins.
• Recognition Boards & Social Media Spotlights: Showcasing employee achievements both internally and on our platforms to celebrate their impact.
• Leadership Accessibility: Our leaders prioritize being available and engaged, ensuring that every team member feels heard and valued.

At Cornerstone Management, we are committed to fostering a culture of appreciation, where employees feel seen, celebrated, and empowered. By aligning our employee appreciation efforts with the Cornerstone Compass, we ensure that gratitude is more than just words—it’s woven into our daily actions and company culture.

Because when we take care of our teams, they take care of our communities.
