STOUGHTON, Mass. (March 16, 2022) – Shields Health Solutions (ShieldsRx), the premier specialty pharmacy accelerator in the country, announced today that it is Great Place to Work-Certified™ for the second year in a row. Additionally, Forbes recognized ShieldsRx as a Best Startup Employer for 2022.
“We are delighted to receive multiple recognitions for our workplace culture,” said Annie Maloney, Chief People Officer at Shields Health Solutions. “Earning the Great Place to Work™ and recognition as a Best Startup Employer further validates our belief in our ‘Culture of Kindness,’ which is a guiding principle in everything we do – from how we collaborate as a company to delivering the highest quality of care to the patients we serve. We are very grateful to receive both distinctions.”
Certification is a significant achievement as the company expands its footprint across the United States. Using validated employee feedback gathered with Great Place to Work’s rigorous, data-driven methodology, Certification confirms that 95 percent of employees agree that Shields is a Great Place To Work™ compared to the 59 percent at a typical U.S.-based company.
“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Shields Health Solutions is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”
The Forbes Best Startup Employers award further illustrates Shields’ unwavering dedication to employee well-being, particularly when the Covid-19 pandemic and public health emergency has exacerbated the rate of employee burnout across industries, especially in healthcare. The winning organizations were determined by the scrutinous examination of over eight million data points. The companies that won the award received the highest total score evaluated on three different criteria: reputation as an employer, employee satisfaction, and growth.
