“We all want to work somewhere we feel valued. Our newest research celebrates the companies making that a reality. When businesses put their people first, everyone wins — employees are happier, productivity goes up, and the company thrives. These rankings shine a light on the workplaces truly getting it right for their teams,” said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek.

The recognitions are based on extensive employee feedback, independent research, publicly available data, and an analysis of key workplace factors. The rankings highlight organizations that excel in employee well-being, leadership, compensation, workplace culture, career development, and work-life balance.

“These recognitions are especially meaningful because they reflect the experiences of our employees and the culture our teams help build every day,” said Sunny Bhatia, MD, President and Chief Medical Officer of Prime Healthcare. “At Prime Healthcare, our physicians, nurses, caregivers, leaders, and support teams are united by a shared commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
