UT Health San Antonio has earned a “Best Company Perks & Benefits” award from Comparably, a website that compiles job listings and company culture information, based on feedback from surveys of its current employees.
This marks the third award UT Health San Antonio has received from Comparably, after receiving “Best Company for Diversity” (December 2022) and “Best Company Outlook” (March 2023).
The institution received the award out of tens of thousands of large employers (with more than 500 employees) based on employee feedback over the past 12 months, placing 82nd among 100 employers ranked. UT Health San Antonio was one of only two San Antonio-based employers that made the list, with HEB at 95th. Other notable national employers on the list include Microsoft, Google, Costco, Meta, Cisco, Johnson & Johnson and others.
“This recognition is more meaningful because it is based on input from our current employees,” said Amy Tawney, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, CPC, vice president and chief human resources officer of UT Health San Antonio. “The ability to meet our missions in education, health care and research is made possible only by our hard-working, committed team members. It is our people who make the difference for those we serve.
“The feedback focuses on their satisfaction with the comprehensive employee benefits package including compensation, retirement contributions, balance and sustainable working norms, as well as resources in support of their well-being,” she said. “It is important to us to offer programs that support this and contribute to conditions that enable an engaged workforce and responsive culture focused on the important and impactful work happening here at UT Health San Antonio.”

The Top 100 highest-rated companies with the Best Perks & Benefits are based on anonymous employee feedback on Comparably.com to a variety of questions regarding an employee’s overall satisfaction with their perks and benefits.
This set of Comparably Awards were derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com during a 12-month period, August 2022 through August 2023.
Rankings were determined based on a series of questions related to perks and benefits (in yes/no, 1-10 scale, and multiple-choice format). The answer to each question was given a numerical score and then compared to companies of similar size.
There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required. To qualify, large employers must have met a minimum of 75 employee participants, with additional weight given to companies with more employee participation.
The final data set was compiled from 15 million ratings across 70,000 U.S. companies.
