Cook Children’s Earns No. 3 Spot on Forbes Best List | Cook Children's

Cook Children’s Health Care System earned a top spot on Forbes’s list of America’s Best Large Employers for 2024, coming in at No. 3 out of a lineup of 500. We are also No. 1 on the “health care and social” industry sub-category. These rankings acknowledge that Cook Children’s is one of the best places to work among all large businesses across all industries nationwide.
Rankings are determined by a survey of thousands of Americans working for large companies defined as having more than 5,000 employees. The survey was administered by a national market research firm. Respondents remain anonymous and the companies on the list do not pay a fee to be included.
“It’s a huge honor to be recognized in this way on such a national level because it speaks directly to the culture we are working so hard to build here. One where our employees feel valued, supported and connected to our Promise, to our patients and to each other,” said Rick Merrill, Cook Children’s president and CEO. “It’s our people that make this place magical, and now the entire country is getting a glimpse of that magic.”
A number of criteria was used in the survey to evaluate companies, including working hours, gender pay equity, opportunities for training and promotion, workload expectations, parental leave benefits, the degree of diversity on the management team and whether or not employees would recommend the company to their friends and family, according to Forbes.
In recent years, Cook Children’s launched a number of initiatives to promote many of these gold standards for growing a healthy and happy workforce.
