SHAKOPEE, Minn. (June 18, 2019) – Star Tribune’s annual Top Workplaces report has named St. Francis Regional Medical Center one of the best places to work in the state of Minnesota for the seventh consecutive time since 2012. St. Francis was ranked 21st on the large company list. Star Tribune’s Top 150 Workplaces were announced last week, and featured in the Sunday print edition of the newspaper on June 16.
“It’s a pleasure to work at an organization where employees are excited to come to work every day and proud of where they work,” said Dr. Monte Johnson, interim president of St. Francis Regional Medical Center. “Employee engagement is an important part of the culture at St. Francis, and this is an important way to measure that engagement. We wouldn’t be able to deliver high quality patient care without highly engaged and committed employees.”
The Star Tribune Top Workplaces team partners with a third-party organization to conduct an independent survey among employees at participating companies, and evaluates workplaces based on engagement, organizational health and satisfaction. Rankings are composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses, and nearly two-thirds of St. Francis employees (who are at least part-time) participated.
“We’re so appreciative of our staff who bring so much care, expertise and love to work each day,” said Sally Haack, vice president and director of human resources at St. Francis. “St. Francis employees commit to supporting our patients and one another, and that helps make St. Francis a unique place to work for healthcare professionals. Our values are cultivated by the caring actions, attitude and personal integrity of our staff.”
More than 2,400 companies were invited to participate in the 2019Top Workplaces program, and more than 71,000 employees statewide took the opportunity to share feedback about their workplace. For more information about the report, visit startribune.com/topworkplaces.
