KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Bronson Healthcare has been named as one of three healthcare employers in the state to be recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women for 2023.
According to Bronson officials, this is the third major employer recognition the Bronson Healthcare system has received in recent months. They said also that Bronson is also on Forbes 2022 list of America’s Best-In-State Employers and is a recipient of the 2023 Apex Award from Training Magazine for excellence in employee training and development.
To select America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women, Newsweek identified the top 600 companies in the United States for women based on research, reputation monitoring and a survey of over 37,000 women working for companies that employ at least 1,000 people.
The study collected over 224,000 reviews across all industry sectors. Participants reviewed their current employer based on how likely they would be to recommend that employer and reviewed other companies they were familiar with, but not currently working for.
The final evaluation and scoring were based on eight key categories: Company image, corporate culture, working environment, work-life balance, training and career progression, compensation and benefits, sustainability awareness and proactive management of the diverse workforce.
Bronson Healthcare, with 8,800 employees, is southwest Michigan’s largest employer and leading health system where 79% of the employees in its workforce are women with a significant percentage of them serving in leadership roles.
Bronson’s Chief People Officer Cheryl Johnson says, “We are very proud to learn we are ranked among the nation’s top employers for women. We strive to offer the career opportunities, training, support, resources, competitive pay and benefits that are important to women and their families so they can thrive at work and at home.”
