Boston Globe names UMass Chan among best places to work

UMass Chan Medical School was named to The Boston Globe’s 2022 list of Top Places to Work in Massachusetts. UMass Chan is the only institution of higher education in the commonwealth to be included on the 2022 list, which includes 150 organizations of all sizes and industries.

This distinction is based on results of a confidential employee engagement survey that 55 percent of UMass Chan’s full-time benefited employees participated in last June. Words that came up most in the survey to describe the UMass Chan experience were “inclusive” and “collaborative.”

Employees also frequently used the words “welcoming,” “supportive” and “respectful” to describe company culture.

“The survey results provide us with feedback about our medical school’s collaborative, connected and inclusive community; strong performance in research, education and public service; and areas of opportunity and potential improvement,” Chancellor Michael F. Collins said in a memo to employees. “The leadership team recognizes that our employees are by far our most important asset and they are key to achieving our ambitious strategic plans.”
