FORT WAYNE, IND. – Oct. 2, 2024 – Parkview Health has been named among the Top. 10 Most Loved Workplaces in America according to Newsweek.
It’s the second consecutive year Parkview has made Newsweek’s Top 200, jumping to No. 7 overall this year from No. 87 in 2023. Parkview was one of only two Indiana companies to make this year’s list.
The 2024 Top 200 Most Loved Workplaces® are the result of a collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company. BPI previously recognized Parkview on its own Most Loved Workplaces list in August, as well as identified Parkview as a top workplace for women, diversity, career advancement, parents and caregivers, volunteering, wellness and young professionals.
The results for this year’s Newsweek list were determined after surveying more than 2.6 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from less than 50 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the center of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them.
“Our commitment to excellence in serving our patients, our co-workers and our communities is reflected in this great honor from Newsweek,” said Rick Henvey, CEO, Parkview Health. “When our co-workers feel valued and loved, that positive attitude, enthusiasm and engagement is projected forward into the care they provide, ensuring excellent care for every person, every day.
“Being named within the nation’s Top 10 Most Loved Workplaces is a testament to the strong culture we’ve established at Parkview,” said Dena Jacquay, chief administrative officer, Parkview Health. “When we listen to our co-workers, we build and evolve in response to their needs and address areas of concern that are most important to them. As part of this growing organization, and as a state leader in quality, patient experience and our culture, Parkview takes being a best employer very seriously.”
Parkview goes above and beyond to provide for and support its co-workers, with a wide suite of benefits and perks. Parkview offers a quarterly “lifestyle benefit” stipend co-workers can use to make personal purchases of their choosing; provides additional time off for volunteering or mental health days; operates a nationally recognized wellbeing department with a variety of services and events to support physical and mental health; offers free admission to local festivals and community events; and provides opportunities to connect via Co-Worker Resource Groups, intramural opportunities and recognition programs. Throughout 2024, Parkview has also conducted listening tours across the organization to learn more about what’s on the hearts and minds of co-workers.
To identify the top 200 companies in this list, companies were evaluated and scored based on direct employee responses to BPI's Love of Workplace Index® assessment, from BPI’s direct interviews and written responses with company officials and from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google. Newsweek then conducted editorial research on every company before the final list of 200 companies and their rankings was completed.
“It’s inspiring to see the list expand this year to 200 companies, a clear indication that organizations are truly committed to creating workplaces where employees feel valued and connected,” said Newsweek Global Editor in Chief Nancy Cooper. “We’re thrilled to celebrate their achievements as this recognition continues to grow.”
Newsweek is the latest group to recognize Parkview as one of the nation’s top workplaces. Parkview was named No. 18 in North America and No. 19 overall in Inspiring Workplaces global Top 100; was honored as one of Becker’s Healthcare’s Top Places to Work in Healthcare; was named a Best in State Employer by Forbes for the third consecutive year; and had three hospitals named to the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s Best Places to Work.
