OAKTON, Va. (April 23, 2021)— For the 10th year, The NonProfit Times has named PRS, a leading nonprofit that helps individuals who live with serious behavioral health issues, to its national list of Best Places to Work.
“We are honored to again make The NonProfit Times’ list. We know that our outstanding employees are what propel our organization and persons served forward, so we place a premium on our workplace culture. 2020 was a year like no other so helping our employees through a difficult time was step one to ensuring that we could continue to serve those in our community suffering from mental health challenges,” said Joseph Getch, CEO, PRS.
Up one place from last year, PRS was ranked 43rd among all nonprofits surveyed and 19th among medium sized employers. PRS has 143 employees. PRS offers a work environment that fosters teamwork, professional growth, and work-life balance. It’s a culture where employees enjoy coming to work, are accountable and can excel in the services they provide. The organization provides resources and training for continued learning and growth, a competitive industry-related salary, and an excellent benefits program.
Created in 2010 by The NonProfit Times—the leading national publication for nonprofit managers—and Best Companies Group, Inc., this nationwide survey and awards program honors the best employers in the nonprofit sector. The program was open to all nonprofits with a 501 (c)(3) status that have a facility with a minimum of 15 employees. The evaluation included a survey of each nominated organization’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. In addition, the evaluation included a much more heavily weighted anonymous employee survey to measure the employee experience.
Results were analyzed and categorized according to eight core focus areas: leadership and planning; corporate culture and communications; role satisfaction; work environment; relationship with supervisor; training, development and resources; pay and benefits; and overall engagement. Organizations that made the list scored near 90 percent across all categories.
