In our employees’ own words. “Northwell is a Best Company to Work For because…”
We are honored to be named one of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For®”– the only health care provider in New York State to earn this recognition in 2020. However, achieving this milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication, passion and skills of our extended family of more than 72,000 Northwell employees.
We recently conducted an online poll of team members working in various roles throughout our system. Here are the top 10 reasons why they chose to build their careers with us:
1 – A wide network of opportunities and resources
Northwell Health has 23 hospitals and more than 700 ambulatory locations, plus research labs, medical and nursing schools, a graduate school of molecular medicine, and extensive residency and fellowship programs. Wherever your career takes you, we have the resources to help you continue to further your professional growth within the Northwell Health system.
2 – Extensive education and career development
At Northwell, the learning never stops. We provide multiple resources for continued education and development, including tuition reimbursement, scholarships, and mentorship programs along with professional development courses for both clinical and non-clinical team members at our Center of Learning and Innovation (CLI).
3 – Leadership that truly cares
Northwell’s leadership is dedicated to supporting all the people who do extraordinary work on behalf of our patients every day. From the top down, we are committed to fostering a culture that invests in our employees’ well-being, builds trust and provides a sense of belonging.
4 – A focus on Diversity and Inclusion
Our team members are celebrated and championed for being Truly Ourselves, regardless of race, ethnicity, cultural background, language proficiency, literacy, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability or socioeconomic status. Our dedication to supporting our team members’ uniqueness is why Great Place to Work has recognized us on the ‘Best Workplaces for Diversity’ list three years in a row.
5 – “Northwell is a family”
As New York State’s largest employer, when it comes to our employees, we think and act like family. We are always there for each other and united in our common goal to give our best to patients, their loved ones and each other. Our team is Truly Together.
6 – Support for every team member
At Northwell you will always have the support – and the empowerment – to be your best. We encourage others to share ideas and let your voice be heard.
7 – A commitment to providing the best, most advanced care.
We are Made for redefining the future of healthcare and that demands a passion for innovation. We seek those who are never satisfied, who aren’t afraid to question assumptions, and always strive to be innovative in delivering patient care.
8 – A passion for ongoing improvement
All of us feel a sense of belonging and understand that every patient interaction is an opportunity to make a positive impression. No matter what our specific role or responsibilities, we are always looking for every opportunity to raise the bar.
9 – Collaboration and teamwork
At Northwell every department, site and person is interdependent but united in a mission to be there for our patients – and each other – first and foremost. We are stronger when we understand how all the pieces of our organization are connected, when every person knows their work is important and the how working together makes the impossible, possible.
10 – Employee wellness and work/life balance
We work hard to support employee work/life balance, helping people enjoy their work, as well as their time away from the job. We offer special services that provide back-up child and elder care, financial assistance for adoption and home buying, and banking. National and local discounts are offered on a rotating basis lowering the cost of gym memberships, entertainment, car purchasing and repairs, and so much more.
And finally, our people
The more than 72,000 Northwell team members are what makes us strong. We make sure their contributions are recognized and their accomplishments are celebrated so everyone feels their careers are meaningful, dynamic and rewarding.
