Cross Country Among U.S. Companies Recognized for Outstanding Employee Sentiment and Satisfaction in 2023

BOCA, RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 20, 2023-- Cross Country Healthcare (NASDAQ: CCRN), a market-leading workforce solutions and tech-enabled staffing, recruitment and advisory services firm, today announced its place on the annual list for the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® by Newsweek.

A collaboration between Newsweek and the Best Practice Institute (BPI), the 2023 list recognizes companies that have created a workplace where employees feel respected, inspired, and appreciated and are at the center of the business model. The results were determined after surveying more than 2 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size.

“Thank you, Newsweek, for selecting Cross Country as a Top 100 Most Loved Workplace,” said John A. Martins, President and CEO of Cross Country. “We are honored to receive this recognition, as it is a testament to Cross Country’s supportive and inclusive culture that empowers and inspires our team’s continued passion for our organization.”

The key sentiment areas included in the analysis are based on how well companies demonstrate the areas within the Spark Model as defined by BPI, including Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision of the Future, Alignment of values, Respect, and Killer Achievement. Employee sentiments and emotions were used to indicate how engaged employees are, how positive they feel about their workplace, and how committed they are to the organization’s success, ultimately leading to the top 100 final list.

“With the rapidly changing workplace and competition for top talent, more companies are recognizing the importance of employee engagement and commitment,” said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief Newsweek. “The workplaces that have demonstrated a commitment to their employees in 2023 are more likely to attract the best talent and deliver strong business outcomes.”

"Fully understanding and acting upon employee sentiment, emotion, and recommendations continues to be a challenge and top priority of executive leadership,” said Louis Carter, CEO of Best Practice Institute. “The companies on this list have committed to listening carefully to their employees to create a workplace employees love.”
