\u201cWe have always believed deeply in supporting our incredible workforce, which is the driving force behind UConn Health\u2019s excellence in clinical care, teaching and research,\u201d says Dr. Andrew Agwunobi<\/a>, UConn Health CEO and executive vice president for health affairs. \u201cIt is therefore extraordinarily important and gratifying for us that an objective outside source has recognized UConn Health as being a top-five place to work in Connecticut.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ranking puts UConn Health right behind Yale New Haven Health and in front of Hartford HealthCare.<\/p>\n

A market research firm asked survey participants to give a score of zero to 10 that indicates how likely they were to recommend their employer. It also asked respondents to evaluate employers they\u2019d worked for within the past two years, and organizations they knew within their industry or through friends or family who worked there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that our people make us the best place to work, and this recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, including our staff, leadership and union partners,\u201d says Lakeesha Brown, who serves as chief human resources officer for both UConn and UConn Health. \u201cThank you to everyone for making our workplace exceptional \u2014 together, we will continue to strive for excellence and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forbes notes that companies pay no fee to participate or be selected in the rankings.<\/p>\n
