Novant named one of the best employers in NC
Novant Health has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Employers By State for 2022, ranking No. 20 in North Carolina. Forbes partnered with market research company, Statista, to create the list, which is divided into 51 rankings — one for each of the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia — and was compiled by anonymously surveying 70,000 Americans employed at companies with at least 500 employees.
“Novant Health is proud to be recognized as one of Forbes’ Best Employers in North Carolina,” said Carmen Canales, senior vice president, chief people and belonging officer at Novant Health. “We are dedicated to creating a culture of belonging that makes our team members proud to work at Novant Health. With this dedication comes a commitment to putting our team members first, so that they, in turn, can relentlessly pursue remarkable care for our patients and communities.”
For the ranking methodology, survey respondents were asked to rate their employers on a variety of criteria, including safety of work environment, competitiveness of compensation, opportunities for advancement and openness to telecommuting. Statista then asked respondents how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others and to nominate organizations in industries outside their own.
