Partners HealthCare Earns 'Top Place To Work' Honors Honors From The Boston Globe
11/7/2011
For Immediate Release
BOSTON – Partners HealthCare has been named one of The Boston Globe’s 2011 Top Places to Work in Massachusetts. The Globe’s 100 Top Places to Work magazine was published in the Boston Sunday Globe on November 6.
The Top Places to Work recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values and ethics. Private companies and nonprofits as well as publicly-held businesses were included in the analysis.
“Our employees are the foundation of our excellence in health care,” said Gary L. Gottlieb, MD president and CEO of Partners HealthCare. “This recognition is a fitting tribute to the important role of each and every member of the Partners team as they enable us to provide skilled and compassionate care to our patients, their families and the communities we serve.”
“I’d like to extend my congratulations to Partners HealthCare for their inclusion in the 2011 issue of The Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work, and for so clearly demonstrating effective ways to create a positive work environment,” said Boston Globe Publisher Chris Mayer.
The Boston Globe engaged WorkplaceDynamics, specialists in employee engagement and retention, to survey employees at 237 participating companies, receiving completed surveys from 73,813 individuals. Each was asked to grade their organization’s performance according to 24 distinct statements, ranging from “New ideas are encouraged at this company, ’’ to “It’s easy to tell my boss the truth.” In addition, all the employers were invited to complete a 12-question survey on workplace practices.
To compile the ranking, each employer was measured according to six factors: Direction, execution, managers, career, conditions, and pay and benefits.
All of the participating employers were placed into one of three size groups, based on the number of employees in Massachusetts, to account for the “small company effect’’ found in such surveys. Small workplaces were defined as those with 100 to 249 employees; midsize workplaces were defined as those with 250 to 999 employees; and large workplaces were those with 1,000 or more employees. All companies were then ranked within their size band.
