Roper St. Francis Healthcare ranked above employers such as MUSC Health, Duke Energy and Publix Super Markets.

Fifty-five employers in South Carolina were ranked.

Achieving Great Place To Work designation

In a comprehensive survey conducted this summer for Great Place To Work certification, 87 percent of teammates expressed that Roper St. Francis Healthcare is a great place to work, a notable contrast to the 57 percent recorded for an average U.S.-based company.

Ninety one percent of teammates said that when they join Roper St. Francis Healthcare, they are made to feel welcome. That achievement takes on great importance as Roper St. Francis Healthcare focuses on ensuring new teammates feel engaged and valued.

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

According to Great Place To Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93 percent more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to have a fair chance at promotion.

“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Roper St. Francis Healthcare stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its teammates.”

These latest accolades complement another national award announced earlier this year. All four Roper St. Francis Healthcare hospitals received the highest grades from Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades, which honors hospitals across the country for protecting patients from preventable harm or error.
