GBMC is Recognized as a Great Workplace for Diversity

The GBMC vision is to be the community-based true system of care that delivers to every patient, every time, the care we would want for our own loved ones. To achieve this, we know that our workforce must represent the community we serve and that all our people must feel included and valued as members of our team.  

With this in mind, I am happy to announce that GBMC was recently named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2023 as one of the top 1,000 companies in the United States. We still have a lot of work to do to maximize the benefit of our diversity and to assure that everyone feels included, but this recognition shows that we are on the right path.

GBMC was among the top companies whose employees said truly value a diverse workforce. Newsweek partnered with Plant-A Insights, a provider of market research, to carry out an independent study of companies identified to excel in diversity and inclusion efforts. The company then evaluated over 350,000 company reviews across six economic sectors and 36 industries to gather further knowledge. Through an unbiased, independent, and anonymous review, companies were ranked in the 2023 list.

I am grateful that the ratings of our people put us among the best, but we still have a lot of work to do. We are led in these efforts by Lisa Walker, our Chief Diversity & Learning Officer, and her team, who have done a fabulous job in a very brief period to accelerate our efforts. I am also grateful to all my colleagues on the Diversity and Inclusion Council for their work in helping us build a people-centered culture where differences are respected and all employees from diverse backgrounds can thrive personally and professionally.
