October 23, 2025
Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive health network, is proud to announce that the network has once again been recognized by Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine as one of the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™. Hackensack Meridian Health ranked No. 61 this year, making it one of the best companies to work for in the country across all industries.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Fortune and Great Place to Work as one of the Best Workplaces for Women,” said Robert C. Garrett, FACHE, chief executive officer, Hackensack Meridian Health. “This award reflects the strength of Hackensack Meridian Health’s culture and the extraordinary contributions of women across our network who help us deliver high-quality care to the communities we serve.”
To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of nearly 605,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women, have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and at least one female C-suite executive.
“This recognition is a testament to the incredible women across our network who lead with compassion and excellence every day,” said Linda McHugh, executive vice president, chief experience and people officer, Hackensack Meridian Health. “We are deeply committed to cultivating an environment where every team member feels valued, supported and empowered to succeed.”
The Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for women regardless of job role, race, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
Great Place To Work measured the experience of women at participating companies and compared those results to their peers within the organization. The best companies create great work experiences for all women, from the frontline to the C-Suite.
“Congratulations to the Fortune Best Workplaces for Women,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies show that when women thrive in the workplace, everybody else does too. That’s what it means to be a For All company, where the expectation is that every employee can have a great experience and reach their full potential.”
Hackensack Meridian Health was also named to the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care™ list, Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Workplaces for Mental Well-Being in 2025 list, and the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2025 list, further highlighting the network’s ongoing commitment to creating an exceptional environment for all team members.
