LEXINGTON, KY— Lexington Clinic, Central Kentucky’s oldest and largest multi-specialty medical group, was recently named one of the best places to work for 2011 as part of the Seventh Annual Best Places to Work in Kentucky program.
This statewide survey and awards program, created in 2005, is a project of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Kentucky SHRM Council and Best Companies Group. The program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Kentucky, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The Best Places to Work in Kentucky program is comprised of two categories, small/medium-sized companies (25-249 employees) and large-sized companies (250 employees or more). Lexington Clinic was named one of the 39 best places to work in the large-sized employer category.
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
• Have at least 25 employees working in Kentucky
• Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity
• Be a publicly or privately held business
• Have a facility in the state of Kentucky
• Be in business a minimum of 1 year
Organizations meeting the eligibility requirements were then evaluated in a two step process. The first part, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation, consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics. The second part, worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation, consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
Lexington Clinic is pleased to have received this award for the second year in a row, demonstrating our commitment to excellence for patients and employees alike. For more information about Lexington Clinic, visit LexingtonClinic.com.
