Bronson Healthcare Named to National List of Best and Brightest Companies to Work For®
The National Association for Business Resources (NABR) just released its Spring 2024 list of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation. Bronson Healthcare is honored to not only be on the national list for a second year in a row, but also to be among the highest scoring companies.

A comprehensive evaluation conducted by an independent research firm assessed winning performance across several key dimensions, including:
- Compensation, benefits and employee solutions
- Creative wellness and wellbeing solutions
- Employee enrichment, engagement and retention
- Employee education and development
- Recruitment and selection
- Employee achievement and recognition
- Communication and shared vision
- Diversity, equity and inclusion
- Work-life blend
- Community initiatives and corporate responsibility
- Leadership, strategy and company performance
Bronson’s Chief People Officer, Cheryl Johnson, says, “It is an honor to stand out against similar size employers in our region and across the country, as well as to be recognized as an organization that truly cares about our employees. This honor is based on an in-depth survey and evaluation of our employment practices and total rewards program, as well as our initiatives to foster employee wellness, education, inclusion, work-life balance and community involvement. These factors combined with an exceptional workforce contribute to making Bronson Healthcare a truly great place to work!”
Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO of NABR and the Best & Brightest Programs, highlighted that these winning companies have prioritized making a significant impact on their culture. “With a focus on their employees as the top priority, this powerful community of the nation's elite leaders have gained a competitive edge."
