Meridian Health Makes FORTUNE'S "100 Best Companies to Work For"

For the fifth year in a row, Meridian Health has earned a spot on FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list.  As the largest employer in Monmouth and Ocean counties, Meridian has more than 12,000 team members employed at more than 100 locations throughout the area including Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, Riverview Medical Center, Southern Ocean Medical Center, Bayshore Community Hospital, K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital, and Meridian Partner Companies.  This year Meridian is ranked number 62 and is one of only ten health care organizations across the country to make the list.

 “Congratulations to our trustees, physicians, leaders and team members for achieving this truly outstanding recognition,” said John K. Lloyd, FACHE, president of Meridian Health.   “None of our success would have been possible without all of our remarkable team members, who take pride in what they do and where they work.  They truly are the heart and soul of our organization and they underscore our commitment to provide the best health care experience.”

 To select the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the Institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of team members from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses to the Institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.
