CHKD Among America’s Best Employers
Our team of devoted employees has always known CHKD is a great place to work, but now it’s official. CHKD has been named to the Forbes.com list of America’s Best Midsize Employers!
“Strengthening employee engagement and satisfaction is a top priority for our organization,” says President and CEO Amy Sampson. “This distinction is a welcome sign that our efforts are making a difference. It gives us more momentum to continue moving forward with our focus on making CHKD the best possible workplace for our valued employees.”
Over the past two years, CHKD has overhauled its salary structure to attract and retain top talent and added new benefits like student loan repayment and annual personal days. To foster a culture of appreciation, collaboration, and inclusion, we established Engage U, an initiative that includes an employee-led Culture of Excellence Council, regular Town Halls led by senior leadership and open to all employees, and a monthly Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI-B) learning series. The most-loved additions to CHKD’s event calendar have been the Milestone Gala, an evening of celebration to honor significant work anniversaries for our long-tenured employees, and CHKD family night at a Norfolk Tides baseball game – both of which are on the schedule again for 2025.
