The award-winning restaurant concept focuses on people development, engaging its workforce around a strong sense of purpose and team. Through its collaboration with ADP, First Watch was able to honor that commitment during the pandemic by leveraging easy access to employee information, which its leaders used to connect with all furloughed employees on a weekly basis. With this approach, they were able to maintain trust and connection, share Company updates such as information on its new emergency employee assistance fund, and most importantly, let each employee know how much they were valued. The Company also leverages the ADP Mobile Solutions app to stay connected to its extensive hourly population on an ongoing basis, regularly posting employee resources and engaging content.

By continually listening to the needs of its workforce, Teva has continued to engage its people in caring for each other and their patients.

Provider of assisted living, independent living, memory care and skilled nursing services, Sinceri Senior Living has remained focused on ensuring its residents receive the best care possible.
