(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – Nationwide Children’s Hospital once again has been named one of “America’s Best Employers for Diversity” in 2024 by Forbes.
Nationwide Children’s ranked second among all hospitals in Ohio and in the top five among children’s hospitals nationally. Nationwide Children’s also ranked 76th overall among all employers in the nation, and eighth nationally in the healthcare and social services category.
“Our staff of 15,000 cares for children of every background – from all over Ohio and around the world,” said Tim Robinson, chief executive officer of Nationwide Children’s. “Our inclusive culture allows us to better serve them and their families, to support each member of our team, and to achieve the best health outcomes for everyone.”
This seventh annual list — created in partnership with market research firm Statista — is based in part on survey results from 170,000 people working for organizations with at least 1,000 employees within the United States. The participants were asked to anonymously rate their own employers, in addition to companies they knew well either through their industry or through friends and family members employed there. Respondents evaluated the organization’s approach to DEI as it pertains to such criteria as age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation, according to Forbes.
The complete list can be viewed on the Forbes website.
