Sixty-nine hospitals and health systems were named among America's greatest workplaces by Newsweek and the data firm Plant-A Insights Group.
To create the rankings, the publication identified the top 1,000 companies in the U.S. that employ at least 1,000 workers. It based this on a large employer survey and sample set of more than 61,000 U.S. workers; in total, more than 389,000 company reviews were collected.
Criteria included company familiarity (how likely respondents would be to recommend their current employer and others that they are familiar with but not currently working for); company image; corporate culture; working environment; work-life balance; training and career progression; compensation and benefits; sustainability awareness and proactive management of the diverse workforce. They also screened all companies based on media coverage over the past two years, searching for keywords such as "discrimination" and "harassment."
Each workplace was given a 4-, 4.5- or 5-star ranking based on its performance in these areas. The following hospitals and health systems made the cut:
