Sarasota Memorial Health Care System is one of just 39 organizations to win Gallup’s global Great Workplace Award. The award honors the world’s best workplaces for creating an environment and culture that inspires employee commitment and engagement. To qualify for the award, organizations must meet a rigorous criteria, which includes a high, qualifying response rate on Gallup’s 2017 employee engagement survey and a score that places them in the “upper echelon” of organizations in Gallup's global database. They also must demonstrate how their engagement approach improves performance outcomes. Gallup said its workplace award winners excel in areas where many other organizations struggle. Worldwide, just 15 percent of employees are engaged, while the engagement level among its award recipients is 70 percent or more. On average, Gallup’s top performers have 14 engaged employees to just one disengaged—nearly seven times the U.S. rate and more than 15 times the rate for workforces globally.
