(Indiana, PA)—FORTUNE announced Thursday that Indiana Regional Medical Center has been ranked 60th on the 13th annual “100 Best Companies to Work For” list. The full list and related stories appear in the February 8 issue of FORTUNE, available on newsstands on Monday, January 25, and now at fortune.com/bestcompanies.
FORTUNE Deputy Managing Editor Hank Gilman says, “The most important considerations for this year’s list were hiring and the ways in which companies are helping their employees weather the recession. Of the 100 companies on the 2010 list, 65 are currently hiring, representing a total of more than 92,000 open job positions.”
“IRMC is committed to our core value of patient-centered excellence,” said Stephen A. Wolfe, President & CEO. “At IRMC, we have strived to create a culture where our people can be satisfied, engaged and rewarded for delivering on this promise. We are humbled to be named among one of the best places to work in the nation. It is a reflection of a committed and caring staff that we’ve been chosen for this distinction.”
IRMC has been named as one of the Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania for the last five years and named as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare for the last two years.
“IRMC believes that best strategy for the challenging healthcare environment is having great people that are engaged and energized,” said James Kinneer, VP of People Development. “We continually benchmark and strive to improve our people practices by listening to employees. The patient is the ultimate benefactor of our focus on people.”
To pick the 100 Best Companies, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the Institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about the management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses to the Institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring, communication, and diversity.
