Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group recognize America’s Greatest Workplaces through a comprehensive assessment involving employee interviews, publicly accessible data, and an analysis of over 120 key performance indicators. The study incorporated over 400,000 employee interviews in the U.S. and collected over 4.9 million comprehensive company reviews.

Organizations reviewed by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group were scored and weighted based on the following categories: Belonging & Community, Sustainability and Awareness, Working environment, Work-life balance, Corporate Culture, Job Security, and Mental Well-being.

Jamaica Hospital was awarded high scores across these categories and more, reflecting its commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace, supporting employees, and promoting a mission-driven culture that values the community it serves.
