Cleveland Clinic is named among top employers on the Forbes 2023 America’s Best Employers for Women list.
Cleveland Clinic ranked 116 of 400 U.S. corporations across all industries and 26 in the healthcare and social sector.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of America’s best employers for women,” said Kelly Hancock, DNP, Chief Caregiver Officer of Cleveland Clinic, and the holder of the Rich Family Chief Caregiver Chair. “Our vision for Cleveland Clinic is to be the best place for care anywhere and the best place to work in healthcare. This recognition is a direct reflection of our focus on our caregivers, 76 percent who are women.”
Forbes partnered with Statista, a market research firm, to survey more than 60,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. According to Forbes, about 40,000 women were asked to rate their company’s working environment, salary and employee diversity, and whether they would recommend their company to a friend or family member. Their answers were also compared to those of 20,000 men to assess any significant differences in workplace perception.
Forbes also said women were asked to rate their employer based on factors such as pay equity, parental-leave policies, leadership training programs for women, representation of women in upper management, and employer response to incidents of discrimination. Further research was conducted into each company’s presence of women in executive management or board positions.
The final list ranks the 400 employers that received the highest scores.
