Bon Secours Health System Named 2016 Gallup Great Workplace Award Winner Bon Secours Health System has again received the 2016 Gallup Great Workplace Award, created by Gallup to recognize organizations for their extraordinary ability to create engaged workplace cultures that drive business outcomes. This marks the fifth consecutive year Bon Secours has received the award.
The Gallup Great Workplace Award, now in its 10th year, recognizes organizations that meet Gallup's eligibility criteria. Engagement scores are rendered from Gallup's 12-question survey (Q-12), which measures what matters most to employees.
A highly engaged workforce, according to Gallup, can mean the difference between a company that thrives and one that struggles. When employees are engaged, they are passionate, creative and entrepreneurial, and their enthusiasm fuels business growth.
