More than 8 percent of the best employers for women are hospitals and health systems, according to Forbes' most recent ranking.
The publication and market research firm Statista released their ranking of America's best employers for women July 25. The list is largely derived from surveys administered to 60,000 workers — two-thirds of whom were women — at companies with at least 1,000 employees. Workers rated their employers in areas like work environment, salary and employee diversity. Women specifically were asked to rate pay equity, parental leave policies, gender diversity, flexibility, the availability of leadership and advancement opportunities for women, representation of women in upper management, and employer response to discriminatory incidents. Finally, researchers identified the percentage of women in each company's executive management or board and used the collective information to generate a score.
The top 400 companies made the list, including 35 hospitals and health systems — all of which were in the top half of the ranking.
These hospitals and health systems made the cut; they are listed alongside their cross-industry ranking out of 400.
