A Great Workplace for Parents and Families and a Best-in-State Employer

August 2024 – Covenant Health has been recognized by Newsweek and Forbes as a best employer. Both organizations compile employer rankings based on survey feedback from workers across the country.

Newsweek named Covenant Health as one of “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families.” The organization recognized 40 employers in the state, including 12 healthcare organizations. This is the fifth “greatest workplace” award Covenant Health has received from Newsweek this year.

The “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families” list is created based on survey responses from working parents across the country. More than 113,000 parents provided feedback on how much they feel supported in the workplace. The survey looked at the number of corporate programs benefiting families, such as the availability of child-care, as well as information from social media and company ratings and reviews.

Covenant Health was again recognized by Forbes as a “Best-in-State Employer” in Tennessee. The organization recognized 80 employers in the state, including 12 healthcare organizations. This is the fifth time Forbes has recognized Covenant Health as a “Best-in-State Employer” and the ninth Forbes best employer recognition overall.

The “Best-in-State Employer” list is created based on survey responses from individuals in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. More than 160,000 employees working for companies with at least 500 people were asked to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to ten. Additionally, they were asked to evaluate former employers within the last two years and other organizations they knew personally or through family and friends within their industry. Survey responses were incorporated with survey data from the last three years, with greater weight given to the most recent feedback.

Covenant Health is the area’s largest employer with more than 11,000 caregivers, clinicians, employees and volunteers. It is continuously recognized as a best employer, both within the state and the country. In 2024, other Covenant Health best employer accolades include:

  • Newsweek’s “America’s Greatest Workplaces”
  • Newsweek’s “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity”
  • Newsweek’s “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women”
  • Newsweek’s “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters”
