Salt Lake Tribune Names Joyce University of Nursing and Health Sciences a Winner of the Wasatch Front Top Workplaces 2024 Award

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Joyce University of Nursing and Health Sciences has been recognized as a Top Workplaces 2024 honoree by The Salt Lake Tribune. This award highlights the university’s ongoing efforts to create a positive and supportive work environment, following several workplace improvement initiatives introduced over the past year.

“At Joyce University, we strive to help every team member feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow,” said John Smith-Coppes, Joyce University President and CEO. “This award reflects our staff’s dedication and passion for educating the next generation of nurses and health professionals. Together, we’re building a culture of care and accountability that impacts the lives of both our employees and students.”

Throughout 2023 and 2024, Joyce University rolled out new programs to enhance employee engagement and professional development. Among these initiatives is a comprehensive well-being program that focuses on nine key dimensions: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, occupational, financial, environmental, and cultural. Each month, the university offers workshops and activities centered on one of these dimensions, promoting both personal and professional growth.

“Our focus on well-being and professional growth has transformed the way we support our employees,” said Ann Johnson, VP of People & Culture. “By offering programs that prioritize multiple dimensions of well-being, we’re not only helping our team members grow personally and professionally, but we’re also creating a workplace culture that is deeply aligned with our mission to educate and uplift.”

The Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey conducted by Energage, a company specializing in employee engagement technology. The survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
