” …this is indeed a proud achievement. My congratulations go out to all…valuable staff members who serve our healthcare clients including OCLI and Island Eye Surgicenter on Long Island.” – Tom Burke, CEO Spectrum Vision Partners

Spectrum Vision Partners claimed 13th place in a list of over 100 employers in Newsday’s Top Long Island Workplaces for 2019. The recently announced rankings honor those organizations where employees feel engaged, appreciated, and empowered.

During the selection process, Newsday worked in partnership with Energage to conduct surveys into organizational health and identify Long Island workplaces where employees feel their work is valued; where they identify with the company’s goals and vision; and where they express confidence in their leadership. With employee surveys of over 100 companies, Spectrum Vision Partners was one of the groups’ recognized top performers.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “Organizations must meet high standards in the eyes of their employees. People often mistakenly assume it’s all about pay, fancy perks, and benefits. It’s really about organizational health, and that starts with good leadership. Having a good workplace is essential for hiring, retaining, and motivating talent.”

Tom Burke, CEO of Spectrum Vision Partners, was pleased with the results. “It’s nice to see Spectrum honored as a winning company and to receive some well-deserved recognition for the good things we accomplish. As a fairly large employer competing with private businesses, nonprofits, and government organizations, this is indeed a proud achievement. My congratulations go out to all the doctors, managers, administrators, HR team, and other valuable staff members who serve our healthcare clients including OCLI and Island Eye Surgicenter on Long Island.”
