Newsweek ranked Northeast Georgia Health System as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity for 2024.
NGHS officials said the award recognizes organizations that respect and value individuals from different backgrounds and walks of life and NGHS received a five-star rating on the list of large employers.
“Not only do our employees thrive where their differences are respected, but our patients benefit as well,” Diane Poirot, chief human resources officer for Northeast Georgia Health System said. “Our people are certainly our greatest asset, and that’s especially true in health care where our work is so human-focused.”
Newsweek alongside research firm Plant-A Insights interviewed human resource professionals, reviewed publicly available data and conducted an anonymous online survey of employees.
NGHS employs over 11,000 people at five hospitals and dozens of other locations across the region.
Other companies named to the list included Delta, The Home Depot, Southern Company, 3M and General Electric.
