Newsweek names CoxHealth as one of America's Greatest Workplaces

CoxHealth has been named one of “America’s Greatest Workplaces” in 2023 by Newsweek Magazine.

The list, released earlier this month, features 1,000 organizations with 1,000-or more U.S.-based employees. CoxHealth achieved a 4.5-star rating out of a possible five stars based on results from one of the largest employee review studies on benefits, workplace environment, work-life balance and more. CoxHealth was one of 69 hospitals/health systems across the country to be included on the list.

“We strive to encourage, inspire and support our employees to be their best every day,” says Andy Hedgpeth, vice president of human resources at CoxHealth. “It’s an honor to be recognized on the national stage for an award that is determined by our own staff, and I think it speaks to the supportive culture our team members have built across our organization.”

CoxHealth has several programs focused on supporting employees in the workplace, including competitive health, wellness and retirement benefit packages. From employer-paid mental health support to increased tuition reimbursement for certain positions, CoxHealth has adjusted several of its benefits in the last few years to better serve employees and their needs, in both their personal and professional lives.

“Workforce experience is a pillar in our strategic plan, and it’s encouraging to see that the work we are doing for this organization is impacting our employees in a positive way,” says Hedgpeth.

Newsweek and the data firm Plant-A Insights Group created the list by gathering public data and anonymous survey responses from around 62,000 American workers about their current or former employers, or the employers of people in their circle. Respondents were asked to rate employers on benefits, working environment, work-life balance, training and career progression, company image, corporate culture, sustainability awareness and proactive management of a diverse workforce. The process yielded profiles of around 389,000 employers.

The 1,000 highest-scoring employers were included in the “American’s Greatest Workplace List,” which appears in the Newsweek online here.
