Frankfort, KY (January 26, 2009) - For the third year in a row, Frankfort Regional Medical Center was chosen as one of the Best Places to Work for in Kentucky by the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management (KYSHRM) State Council, in conjunction with the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. In 2008, the hospital was selected as top hospital in the state and the second-best company overall among large-sized companies (250 employees or greater). The final rankings for this year's competition will be released at an awards dinner at the Lexington Convention Center on April 21, 2009.
"At Frankfort Regional, employees are just as important as our other customers - patients, families and affiliated physicians," said Chip Peal, Chief Executive Officer. "We listen to and respect their opinions, respond to their needs to the best of our ability, and treat them as indispensable parts of our organization. In my view, that's the real reason why we've received this honor for three consecutive years."
The selection process, managed by Best Companies Group, is based on an assessment of employee policies, procedures and benefits, as well as the results from an internal employee survey. The Best Places to Work in Kentucky initiative is based on FORTUNE magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work for in America" list.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Kentucky has more than 14,000 privately-owned establishments with 20 or more employees. The goal of Best Places to Work in Kentucky is to raise the bar among the state's employers and create excellence and employee satisfaction in the workplace that will attract talented people for years to come.
