Methodist Named as One of the Best Places to Work in Illinois

May 3, 2007

Methodist Medical Center has been named one of the "Best Places to Work in Illinois." Methodist is one of ten large companies (250 or more employees) selected in a statewide competition.

The rankings were determined through criteria developed by Best Companies Group of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, following employee surveys, interviews and workplace assessments.

CEFCU of Peoria was also in the top ten winners and will be featured, along with Methodist, in the July issue of InterBusiness Issues.

Michael Bryant, President and CEO of Methodist said, "We are very proud to be recognized as a great place to work. Our ability to deliver outstanding healthcare is possible only because of our outstanding employees. Providing the best possible environment for those employees, so we can continue to attract and retain an exceptional workforce, is essential to accomplishing our mission."

The award will be presented June 13 at Danada House in Wheaton, Illinois, when the top-to-bottom rankings of the selected companies will be revealed. Twenty small and mid-sized companies were also selected.

Partners in marketing the "Best Places to Work" program include The Business Ledger; The Society for Human Resource Management, Illinois State Council; Illinois Chamber of Commerce; Central Illinois Business Publishers; and the Springfield Business Journal.
