Press release:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group and Rochester Business Journal have named UConnectCare Behavioral Health Services as one of the 2024 Best Companies to Work for in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the sixth consecutive year that the local nonprofit agency, formerly known as Genesee\/Orleans Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, has been recognized by Best Companies to Work for in New York, a research-driven program that examines a company\u2019s practices, programs and benefits and also surveys its employees for their perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UConnectCare was one of 27 businesses in the state receiving the honor in the medium companies (100-249 employees) category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs our agency continues to grow, I am especially proud of how our staff has pulled together to provide a wider spectrum of services, while also expressing their satisfaction on the survey in terms of their workplace experience,\u201d UConnectCare Chief Executive Officer John Bennett said. \u201cI am delighted by the level of professionalism and compassion displayed by our employees throughout the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be considered, companies must have at least 15 full-time or part-time employees working in New York; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; be a publicly or privately held business; have a facility in the State of New York and be in business a minimum of one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75 percent of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
