CHICAGO – The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) announced it has been selected as one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation in 2024 by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR). In addition to this national recognition, ASA has also been named a Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in Chicago. This marks the eighth consecutive year the Society has received both designations.
“We are excited to receive this honor for an eighth year,” said Brian Reilly, ASA CEO. “This truly underscores and reflects our innovation and commitment to creating an exciting, collaborative workplace for our employees. We take great pride in being an organization that supports and prioritizes wellness, diversity and inclusion.”
The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For honors companies that demonstrate a commitment to excellence in their human resource practices and employee enrichment and engagement. The national program honored 432 winning organizations, including ASA, from across the country, out of 1,500 nominations.
The winning companies were assessed by an independent research firm, which reviewed several key measures relative to other nationally recognized winners. Winners raised the bar and were scored on a range of categories, including: Leadership, Strategy, and Company Performance; Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Recruitment and Selection; Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Creative Wellness and Wellbeing Solutions; Community Initiatives and Corporate Responsibility; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; and Work-Life Blend. Winners will be recognized during the Best and Brightest National Summit in March.
"These companies have prioritized making a significant impact on their culture. With a focus on their employees as the top priority, this powerful community of the nation's elite leaders have gained a competitive edge," said Jennifer Kluge, president and CEO of NABR and the Best & Brightest Programs, in a statement.
ASA has also been named a 2024 Best and Brightest In Wellness® company – for excellence in health awareness and promoting a culture of wellness, contributing to a healthier workplace – for a third consecutive year.
