Albany Medical Center Recognized among Greatest Workplaces in Health Care

Albany Medical Center announced today that it has been recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces in Health Care by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. The award recognizes Albany Med’s culture, integrity, and employee engagement and satisfaction. The study involved a comprehensive assessment including 400,000 nationwide interviews, nearly five million company reviews, publicly accessible data, and an analysis of over 120 key performance indicators.

“Albany Medical Center is committed to fostering an environment where all employees feel valued, heard, and proud of the indispensable role they hold in the health of our region,” said president and CEO Dennis P. McKenna, MD. “This recognition is a celebration of our team, and the unique talents each individual brings to provide the highest level, most complete patient care, research, and education to our communities.”

More than 10,000 employees occupy up to 920 different positions at Albany Med in both clinical and non-clinical areas. They also come from up to 80 different countries and represent all races, genders, and religions over five generations. Those statistics led to Albany Med being named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity by Newsweek last year.

Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Jennifer H. Cunningham, said, “In the health care industry especially, employee engagement is crucial. These companies demonstrate exceptional commitment to creating a workplace that promotes both employee and client satisfaction at the highest level. And with higher employee engagement comes a range of benefits. That’s why Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group are partnering for the third annual ranking of America’s Greatest Workplaces, recognizing the companies where employee engagement comes naturally.”
