Medline Named One of the ‘150 Great Places to Work in Healthcare’
Company recognized for excellent work environment and outstanding benefits
MUNDELEIN, Ill., May 7, 2014 — Medline Industries, Inc. has been named one of the “150 Great Places to Work in Healthcare” for 2014, according to the annual list published by Becker’s Healthcare. The list is a compilation of hospitals, health systems, ambulatory surgery centers, physician groups, vendors and other healthcare organizations that provide excellent work environments and outstanding benefits to their employees.
“When it comes to addressing today’s greatest healthcare problems, our employees have a passion for discovering solutions,” said Andy Mills, president of Medline. “We’re proud to provide an environment that encourages innovative thinking and allows employees to find meaning in all they do.”
Becker’s Healthcare selected honorees through an editorial review process in which a team conducted research, considered nominations and evaluated organizations based on their benefits, workplace culture, professional development opportunities and previous recognition for workplace excellence. Becker's has compiled an annual list of Great Places to Work in Healthcare since 2011, but this is the first year nonprovider organizations were included on the list.
“From a free, onsite fitness center and competitive health benefits to healthier options in our cafeteria, to free bus service from Chicago to our headquarters, the benefits we offer all came to life thanks to employee feedback,” said Karen Ferraro, chief human resources officer for Medline. “We are committed to providing a well-rounded experience for employees, supporting an open door policy for everyone and embracing the entrepreneurial spirit.”
Recently, Medline was named to the Chicago Tribune’s Top Workplaces list and voted the best place to work in the medical supplies industry from a survey of sales representatives conducted by MedReps.com.
