Workforce Magazine Announces Cerner as 2017 Workforce 100 Honoree

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 11, 2017 -- Cerner was announced as a prestigious honoree of the 2017 Workforce 100 presented by Workforce magazine, a Human Capital Media publication. Now in its fourth year, Workforce 100 designates companies as the best in HR management through statistical analysis conducted by Human Capital Media Advisory Group.

The Workforce 100 chart indicates the rank order and scores of the 100 companies that performed best in seven core areas: workplace culture; employee benefits; diversity and inclusion; employee development/ talent management; HR innovation/management; leadership development; recruiting and talent acquisition. The working assumption is that high performance in these categories would provide a reasonable proxy for overall HR excellence.

“We’re honored to be recognized among this powerful group of innovative companies for how we attract, develop and retain the world’s best talent at the intersection of health care and technology,” said Julie Wilson, executive vice president and chief people officer, Cerner. "Today and tomorrow, it’s people who set great companies apart. Cerner’s associates are the reason we’ve been successful, and we’ll continue to work to ensure we have the most talented associates to meet the needs of our clients around the world."

To find out which companies are the best for HR management, Workforce editors, along with researchers from the Human Capital Media Advisory Group, the magazine’s research arm, created a statistical formula to sift through publicly available information to separate the best from the rest. The result of that analysis is the Workforce 100 list.

“We’re pleased this awards program continues to grow in popularity, but also in its ability to report organizations’ performance with greater accuracy,” said Rick Bell, Workforce magazine’s editorial director. “Our rankings are compiled with tangible data backed by extensive research, and it continues to prove valuable in setting industry benchmarks.”

Workforce 100 honorees were announced on April 21, 2017 and Cerner will be profiled in the July/August issue of Workforce magazine.
