Children's Minnesota Recognized Among Forbes' America’s Best-In-State Employers 2026
Survey respondents were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer and were asked to assess their workplace based on criteria including wages and benefits, management style, company reputation, flexibility and career advancement opportunities. Participants were also asked to evaluate their previous employers (within the last two years) and organizations they knew within their industry or through friends or family who work there.
MINNEAPOLIS & ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Children's Minnesota is pleased to announce it has been recognized as one of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2026 by Forbes. This prestigious award is determined by direct feedback from employees and members of the public through an independent survey, rather than an organization-led application process.
This recognition reinforces Children's Minnesota as an industry leader, with a positive work culture deeply rooted in its mission to champion the health needs of all children and families.

Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best-In-State Employers 2026 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 245,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. Over 2 million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of employee evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry).
“Being named one of Forbes’ America’s Best-In-State Employers is especially meaningful because this recognition reflects the voices of employees and our community,” said Laurin Cathey, chief human resources officer at Children’s Minnesota. “Our kid experts are the heart of Children’s Minnesota, and to know they feel proud of the work we do, the culture we’ve built and the way we care for one another is incredibly rewarding. When our kid experts feel valued, supported and proud of where they work, they are better able to bring their very best to every patient and family we serve."
