Mount Sinai Named Among Top Hospitals and Health Systems in the U.S. for Fair and Inclusive Workplaces
Health System ranked No.4 by Fair360, formerly DiversityInc, in workplace transparency, equity, and fairness
Marking a commitment to a diverse and inclusive environment for patients, staff, and faculty, Fair360 has ranked the Mount Sinai Health System No. 4 on its list of “Top Hospitals and Health Systems” for workplace fairness.
“We are honored to be recognized for our relentless commitment to fostering a health care and learning community that supports the well-being of every person throughout the Mount Sinai Health System,” said Pamela Y. Abner, MPA, CPXP, Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity Operations Officer in the Office for Diversity and Inclusion, and Health Equity Officer for the Mount Sinai Health System. “We know that a thriving workplace starts with creating a fair workplace. Our mission is to engage with our staff, faculty, and students to cultivate an equitable and inclusive environment—allowing us to provide the best care for our patients.”
The survey by Fair360, formerly known as DiversityInc, has been the external validator since 2001 for large U.S. employers that model fairness in their talent strategies, workplace and supplier diversity practices, and philanthropic engagement. This year, 160 employers—with roughly 7.3 million U.S. employees—submitted data and metrics on leadership accountability, human capital diversity, talent programs, workplace practices, supplier diversity, and philanthropy. The list evaluates companies based on six key areas of workplace fairness, including a measure of transparency, equitable outcomes for employees, and effectiveness of fairness strategies and practices.
“I’m delighted to recognize the companies on the Top 50 list for their ongoing commitment to workplace fairness,” said Luke Visconti, Founder and Chairman of Fair360. “The data shows that over the long term, companies that consistently put their employees first and have strong track records of respecting and embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion are stronger performers and better equipped to adapt to market conditions.”
Specialty lists, including the top hospitals and health systems ranking, are based on a data-driven evaluation that does not produce a set number of companies on a list. The companies are evaluated on group performance, and the cutoff takes place where there is a significant difference between the top companies and the next runner-up.
Mount Sinai has also been recognized for its diversity in health care leadership. Becker’s Healthcare recently named Ms. Abner and Gary C. Butts, MD, Executive Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer for the Mount Sinai Health System, among the top Black health care leaders to know in 2024. These health care leaders are recognized for shaping patient experience, educating and training the next generation of health care providers, and furthering equity and inclusion.
