Location: Lubbock, Texas
Type of company: Hospital/health system
Meet the organization: UMC Health System sees more than 400,000 patients at its main campus and 23 regional health centers. UMC is one of just two hospitals in the state with a Level I trauma center and a regional burn center. The system's more than 3,200 employees work at one of the best employers in the state, as UMC Health System was named one of the "Best Companies to Work for in Texas" by Best Companies Group in 2014 and 2015.
Added benefits: In 2014, the system started offering "traveling" breakfast, lunch and dinner via food carts as a response to requests in an employee survey. In one month, more than 2,500 transactions took place through those new options. Another recently added service is Personal Finance 101, which provides free and confidential financial coaching to employees. To continue improving the health system's quality of care and efficiency, 40 employees earned "green belts" last year as part of UMC's lean/Six Sigma journey.
