UMA Earns National Recognition for Outstanding Workplace Culture and Impact in Healthcare Education
USA Today Award Logo
Energage evaluates Top Workplaces award winners by leveraging 15 culture drivers that are scientifically proven to predict high performance within organizations. These drivers include factors like employee appreciation, well-being, and professional development. UMA exemplified these drivers, earning recognition for fostering a workplace culture centered on growth, care, and community. UMA's focus on employee appreciation, well-being, and opportunities for professional development were key contributors to their success, as reflected in their Team Member Engagement survey results.
At the core of UMA's mission is the "ripple effect of care"- the belief that when we care for our team members, they are better equipped and empowered to care for our learners and partners. In turn, our graduates go on to fill allied health positions for healthcare organizations nationwide, passing that care along to patients in communities across the country. This award reflects UMA's unwavering dedication to this mission.
"This recognition truly speaks to the incredible dedication of our team members who live and breathe the UMA mission every single day,” shared Misty Brown, Chief People Officer at UMA. "I am so proud to work alongside such wonderful colleagues who bring our culture to life through their passion for creating a supportive, empowering environment for our learners and for each other. Together, we embody the ripple effect of care, and this award is a testament to our shared purpose and values."
Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage, echoed this sentiment, saying, "Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees. In today's market, leaders must ensure they're allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends."
This achievement highlights UMA's role as a leader not only in allied healthcare education but also as a workplace that prioritizes team member engagement, mission-driven culture, and making a meaningful impact on the communities it serves.
