Hearst Media Services Names Beacon Communities a Winner of the Fairfield, New Haven, and Litchfield County Top Workplaces Award

Beacon Recognized Among Best Employers in Connecticut

Boston, Massachusetts, September 28, 2022 – Beacon Communities has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2022 honor by Hearst Connecticut Top Workplaces. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

“At Beacon, we believe in Living Well by Design for our residents and Working Well by Design for our teams,” said Dara Kovel, CEO of Beacon Communities. “This mindset permeates every aspect of our work, from our physical workspaces to our employee engagement and teambuilding. I am incredibly excited to see Beacon recognized as a Top Workplace in my home state of Connecticut.”

Beacon Communities has operated in Connecticut since the mid-nineties and currently oversees 13 professionally managed communities across the state. This equates to over 2,000 apartment homes, with the vast majority serving moderate to low-income households. 72 team members support these properties and work closely with their residents to deliver an exceptional apartment living experience.

“Our Beacon team in Connecticut exemplifies teamwork, dedication, and our engaging culture,” said Kristie Tafel, Senior Vice President of Property Management at Beacon Communities. “These hard working individuals accomplish important work while genuinely caring for one another and for our residents. Our team members believe in the mission of our organization which has a direct impact on their engagement. It is very exciting to see our Connecticut team’s high value for engagement be recognized through this award!”
