CHRISTUS Health, a faith-based, nonprofit global health system, announced today it has earned the “Great Place to Work” national certification for the third consecutive year, based entirely on feedback from its Associates.
“We are honored our Associates view CHRISTUS as a great place to work,” said Ernie Sadau, president and CEO of CHRISTUS Health. “Our Associates bring our mission to life each day, extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ in the communities we serve. This recognition is a testament to the environment they’ve helped build.”
In an anonymous survey of Associates based in the U.S. and Mexico, 84% of respondents said CHRISTUS Health is a great place to work, compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. More than 10,000 organizations across 60 countries apply for Great Place to Work certification each year, making the designation a widely recognized benchmark for workplace culture and employee experience.
CHRISTUS Health is one of the largest Catholic health systems in the country, with more than 53,000 Associates and over 60 hospitals across Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. The organization’s continued recognition reflects the strong culture its Associates have built while delivering high-quality, compassionate care in the communities they serve, year over year.
“We are deeply grateful for our Associates and the culture they create together,” said Kimberly King Webb, chief human resources officer for CHRISTUS Health. “They bring a strong sense of purpose, pride and commitment to their work, supporting one another and the communities we’re privileged to be a part of.”
The Great Place to Work certification measures how consistently organizations foster a high-trust workplace. Certified organizations are 15 times more likely to be picked by job seekers and have double the employee retention of their competitors. The recognition reflects CHRISTUS Health’s ongoing commitment to supporting its Associates.
