For the ninth time, UTHealth Houston has earned the Top Workplaces designation from the Houston Chronicle. The university is listed among the best large organizations in the city.
Energage, the selected vendor, surveyed Houston organizations and benchmarked them by size to compare similar employee experiences and determine the rankings. Based solely on anonymous employee feedback, the survey measures workplace experience using culture and employee engagement drivers. More than half of university employees took the time and commitment to participate in the 2022 employee survey.
“This recognition is a testament to the amazing people who make up our organization,” said Karen Spillar, JD, UTHealth Houston vice president and chief human resources officer. “UTHealth Houston is building our reputation as a workplace of choice. It is a privilege to be recognized in this way by our outstanding workforce.”
UTHealth Houston ranked No. 22 among organizations with 500 or more local employees.
