Forbes: Sarasota Memorial the 7th best employer for women in US

When it comes to the workplace, Sarasota Memorial Hospital is among the best in the country for female employees, according to a new survey from Forbes. The business magazine teamed up with data gathering company Statista to identify the best employers for women, and on the 2024 list, Sarasota Memorial ranked No. 7 in the nation.

To qualify for the list, an organization had to have at least 1,000 employees, according to a statement. Sarasota Memorial has 10,000, according to Forbes. Statista surveyed 150,000 women and ranked the top 600 employers based on their responses combined with other data. 

Current employees were asked to rate their employer on things like pay equity, parental leave, work environment, and how sexual misconduct and discrimination were handled. Analysts used data from the past three years but weighed current information more heavily. Statista also looked at how many executive and board positions were occupied by women.
