Wake Robin HR Director Anne Levesque accepts the Workforce Innovation Award from the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce

We are extremely excited to announce that Wake Robin was honored as The 2019 Workforce Innovation Award recipient during the 109th Annual Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce Dinner. This was the first year The Workforce Innovation Award had been presented and Wake Robin was honored to be one of many organizations to be nominated.  Human Resources Director Anne Levesque accepted the award and shared with the audience some thoughts on the many creative efforts the Wake Robin community consistently realize.

Anne Levesque poses with Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger, LCRCC Chair of the Board of Directors Kurt Gruendling, Vermont Lt. Governor David Zuckerman, U.S. Congressman Peter Welch, Kim Anderson, and Vermont Governor Phil Scott and others at the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce annual awards dinner.

The Chamber’s press release on VT Digger described the Workforce Innovation Award as celebrating a “business that is ahead of the curve in retaining and building their future workforce, recognizing achievements in diversity and inclusion, employee retention and training, collaboration with other institutions and businesses, and innovative practices that benefit their employees, and in turn our community.” Wake Robin’s unique performance reviews, described as  “Job Talk”, and its on-campus opportunities to advance skills, were just a few of the reasons The Chamber delivered the 2019 Workforce Innovation Award to Vermont’s only nonprofit Life Plan Community.

We’re grateful for the recognition and will continue to develop innovative ways to attract employees and residents to our caring community. Congratulations to a fantastic, hard-working team!
