Nationwide Children's Named a Top 10 Best Employer for Healthcare Professionals by Forbes

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) - Nationwide Children's Hospital has been named one of "America's Best Employers for Healthcare Professionals" by Forbes, ranking No. 8 among 250 organizations nationally. Nationwide Children's is ranked No. 4 among children's hospitals in the nation and the No. 2 hospital in Ohio.

"Nationwide Children's goal is to provide the world's best care for families, and that only happens when our staff feels supported and valued," said Tim Robinson, CEO of Nationwide Children's. "For decades, our culture has been built on a spirit of innovation, collaboration and trust that we call "One Team" - and this recognition shows how dedicated our healthcare professionals remain to our shared mission."

This recognition builds on several Forbes workplace honors this year. The hospital was named the No. 1 employer and hospital in Ohio and among the top two children's hospitals nationwide on Forbes' "America's Best Large Employers" list. Nationwide Children's also was ranked the No. 1 company in Central Ohio, the No. 1 hospital in Ohio and among the top five healthcare systems in the country on Forbes "Best Employers for Company Culture" list. Nationwide Children's also was named the No. 1 children's hospital nationally and the No. 1 hospital in Ohio on Forbes' "Best Employers for New Graduates" list.

To create this second-annual ranking, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 30,000 employees working for healthcare and social services providers employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their current employer to others and to rate it based on criteria including wages, working conditions and schedules, career advancement opportunities and safety. Survey respondents were also asked how likely they were to recommend a previous employer (within the last two years) and other healthcare organizations they knew through industry experience or through friends and family who had worked there. The responses were then analyzed and incorporated into a scoring system that also factored in data from the past three years of employer surveys at a lesser weight.
