Labor shortages. Lack of career advancement and flexibility. Discontent employees. It seems that these storylines are monopolizing the news. It's no wonder nearly 55% of the current US workforce is considering changing jobs. If you're one of the many looking to make a change – why not consider a rewarding career in senior living? And better yet, one at MBK Senior Living!
With 34 locations in six states throughout the Western United States, MBK Senior Living has various positions available. From entry-level to management roles, there's something for everyone. But what is more rewarding than the role you take is the culture you'll find and the connections you'll make.
At MBK Senior Living, everything we do is driven by the Japanese concept of Yoi Shigoto, which translates to "good, quality work." It's more than a mantra or rally cry. It's our ongoing, overall commitment to building trust, setting high standards, developing full potential in ourselves and others, contributing to society, and doing the right thing – always.
Doing the right thing for our Team Members takes shape in several tangible and intangible ways. We aim daily to operate in a culture built on mutual trust and respect, open communication, teamwork, honesty, and accountability. In addition, we provide ongoing training, advancement opportunities, and competitive wages.
Can You Say This About Your Job?
"What I love about MBK, first and foremost, is the culture. It is so fun, positive, supportive," said Anna Gounev, Director of Sales for The Montera. "I tell anyone who will listen, I feel like I won the lottery working for MBK Senior Living."
It's a sentiment that's shared throughout the company. According to Chris Etherington, Regional Director of Operations for Utah and Colorado, who just celebrated his 10th work anniversary at MBK, he feels blessed to be a part of a company that shares his same principles and values.
"I'm so thankful for everyone I work with and the residents we have the pleasure to serve," said Chris.
"I came here looking for my tribe within this work that I love to do, and I really found my people here at MBK," added Diana “Dee” Engle, MBK's National Director of Wellness Programming.
"It's nice to come and work for a company where you feel you're with family every day," said Kevin McLaurin, Director of Human Resources. "It's definitely one of the things I love about working at MBK."
More than Lip-Service
It's not just a collective few that sing MBK's praises. This summer, the company earned its fourth consecutive Great Place to Work certification from the Great Place to Work Institute and was named one of Fortune magazine's "Best Workplaces for Aging Services” for the second year in a row.
These designations were based on more than 60 elements of team members' experience on the job. These include employee pride in the organization's community impact, belief that their work makes a difference, and feeling their work has special meaning. The Great Place to Work Institute considered more than 1,000 employees’ anonymous surveys across MBK's locations and home office.
It is commonplace at MBK Senior Living to listen to our employees, take their input, and put suggestions to use. For example, when MBK Senior Living received an 89% engagement score among Millennials, they looked for opportunities to improve. The company conducted discussion groups that solicited feedback to address areas needing improvement. The result was increased benefits and wages, diversity programming, and an increased engagement score of 94%.
