The Washington Post Names Goodwin House Incorporated a 2020 Top Washington-Area Workplace

Goodwin House Inc. Ranks #10 out of 30 Companies

Alexandria, VA (October 15, 2020) – Goodwin House Incorporated (GHI) has been named one of The Washington Post’s 2020 Top Workplaces in the Washington, D.C. area, and ranked #10 in the large company category on the list of organizations receiving a Top Workplace designation. This is the second year in a row that Goodwin House received this honor.

Selection is based solely on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, which measured several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, engagement and leadership. For 2020, a record 406 employers agreed to take the survey – with 200 Washington-area employers ranked based on their employee survey feedback.

“It is a tremendous honor to be a 2020 Washington Post Top Workplace for the second year in a row,” said Rob Liebreich, President & CEO. “This past year has been a challenging one for our residents, Goodwin House at Home members and staff, and through it all our amazing employees have continued to uphold our mission to support, honor and uplift older adults across Northern Virginia. We strive to promote a culture of purpose and fulfillment, where our team members have the opportunity to enhance people’s lives every day.”

GHI is a leader in the senior living and healthcare services industry, serving approximately 2,000 older adults across Northern Virginia and employing nearly 900 individuals representing more than 65 different countries.

Goodwin House also launched more than twenty support staff support efforts, including direct financial assistance, to help its employees and their families navigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
