Henrich, MD, MACP. “Our institution provides critically important jobs that impact our local economy including opportunities in world-class academics, leading-edge research and quality patient care, as well as operational and professional careers.”
America’s Best-In-State Employers 2023 were identified based on an independent survey of U.S. employees working for companies employing more than 500 workers in the United States. More than 2.1 million recommendations were gathered as part of the analysis, with evaluations made on a state-by-state basis and based on three distinct criteria:
- In-state indirect recommendations: Participants were prompted to evaluate employers in their state.
- National in-industry indirect recommendations: Participants also were prompted to evaluate other employers (nationally) in their respective industries.
- Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family. Additionally, employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements surrounding work-related topics, like working conditions, diversity, salary, potential for development and employer image.
“This honor speaks volumes about our employees and their continuous dedication,” said Amy Tawney, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, CPC, vice president and chief human resources officer. “It’s also indicative of the positive outlook all of us feel on our journey together as we transform UT Health San Antonio and plan for strategic growth, including our new Multispecialty & Research Hospital.”
