What Is the World’s Best Culture Certification?
Drive’s World’s Best Culture Certification recognizes aging services organizations and healthcare providers that demonstrate exceptional workplace cultures. The certification is based on the Culture Values Assessment developed by the Barrett Values Centre, a globally recognized tool for measuring organizational culture and values alignment.
Organizations such as Mastercard, Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Volvo have utilized this assessment to understand better and strengthen their workplace environments. With more than 25 years of data and four million assessments in its database, Barrett Values Centre provides a trusted benchmark for evaluating organizational effectiveness and employee engagement.
Drive Culture Outcomes, a consulting firm focused on helping aging services organizations improve workplace culture, uses this assessment to identify organizations that demonstrate strong alignment of values and employee engagement.
How Does Rhythms Gather Team Member Feedback?
The Culture Values Assessment allows team members to share their personal values, the current values of the workplace, and the values they would like to see reflected in their ideal work environment.
The responses are analyzed to calculate a culture score that measures how closely these values align throughout the organization. At Rhythms Home Care, this feedback helps leaders understand what is working well, identify growth opportunities, and continue building a culture that supports both team members and clients.
The assessment also provides valuable insight into organizational strengths and areas for improvement, helping guide future decisions that strengthen employee satisfaction and service quality.
What Culture Score Did Rhythms Home Care Earn?
To receive World’s Best Culture Certification, organizations must achieve a minimum score of 70 on the Culture Values Assessment.
This year, Rhythms Home Care earned an exceptional culture score of 89, significantly exceeding the certification benchmark and demonstrating the strength of the organization’s workplace culture.
For additional perspective:
- Global average culture score: 55
- Healthcare industry average: 50
- Drive senior living community average: 64
- Rhythms Home Care culture score: 89
These results place Rhythms well above both industry and global benchmarks, reflecting a strong commitment to creating a workplace where team members feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed.
In fact, Rhythms Home Care’s culture score of 89 is among the highest scores in the entire Barrett Values Centre database globally, reflecting the strength of the organization’s culture and its commitment to supporting both team members and clients.
Through feedback shared by team members, Rhythms identified accountability, caring, and diversity as core values that continue to shape the organization’s culture. These values guide daily interactions and help create an environment where employees can thrive while delivering high-quality care to clients.
Why Does Workplace Culture Matter In Home Care?
A strong workplace culture benefits both employees and the individuals they serve. When caregivers feel supported, engaged, and connected to a shared purpose, they are better equipped to provide compassionate, client-centered care.
For Rhythms Home Care, culture plays an important role in supporting the organization’s mission of helping older adults age in place. By investing in education, teamwork, and professional development, Rhythms creates an environment where caregivers can grow while continuing to provide exceptional support to clients and their families.
“I have had the privilege of partnering with Christian Living Communities for many years, and what they have built is nothing short of extraordinary. Earning the World’s Best Culture is the result of leaders who show up every single day committed to their people. CLC is, without question, one of the finest organizations in senior living, and this recognition reflects exactly who they are.”
- Denise Boudreau, Founder & President of Drive
