ChristianaCare has been recognized as one of the Best Employers for Women in America for 2024. This is the first time the company has received this prestigious recognition.
In a survey of 150,000 women working at companies with 1,000 or more employees in the United States, ChristianaCare ranked 150th out of 600 employers evaluated.
“This important recognition is a testament to our culture and the incredible women who choose to build meaningful careers with ChristianaCare,” said Chris Cowan, MEd, FABC, chief human resources officer at ChristianaCare.
“Supporting women’s success is essential to our culture and strengthens our organization. Together, we will advance equity and inclusion in the workplace and transform health care and clinical care.”
Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey employees on a variety of aspects, including work environment, growth opportunities, compensation, diversity, parental leave, flexible work schedules and family support.
