— Mary Roxer, chief human resources officer at Valley HealthForbes evaluated healthcare employers to determine which organizations are prioritizing employee well-being and supporting the needs of their staff. Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 30,000 employees working for healthcare and social services providers employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S.
Participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their current employer to others and to rate it based on criteria including wages, working conditions and schedules, career advancement opportunities and safety. Survey respondents, according to Forbes, were also asked how likely they were to recommend a previous employer (within the last two years) and other healthcare organizations they knew through industry experience or through friends and family who had worked there. The responses were then analyzed and incorporated into a scoring system that also factored in data from the past three years of employer surveys at a lesser weight.
