ST. LOUIS — The key ingredient that makes Mercy’s expert care well known is no secret – it’s compassionate caregivers and their personal service to patients. Recognition as one of America’s best employers shows why Mercy attracts and keeps professionals who love their work and do it well.
Gallagher has named Mercy as a Best-in-Class Employer in its 2024 U.S. Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking Survey. Mercy was selected for its excellence in supporting its caregivers’ health, financial stability and career growth while remaining sustainable as a nonprofit health care provider.
“We’ve always known our patients get the most benefit from their care at Mercy when our caregivers have a supportive, adaptive and collaborative culture at work,” said Catherine Codispoti, Mercy’s chief people officer. “We’re proud of the work we do to support our co-workers and their families. The legacy of the Sisters of Mercy starts with a commitment to help the people around you, and that begins in so many ways with supporting each other to ensure we’re providing the best care possible for our patients.”
Illinois-based Gallagher is a global giant in insurance, risk management and consulting, with operations in 130 countries.
“Mercy recognizes the crucial link between people’s well-being and organizational success,” said William F. Ziebell, CEO of Gallagher’s benefits and HR consulting division. “When employees enjoy their work, appreciate their benefits and feel connected, the organization thrives – boosting positivity, retention, performance and overall prosperity. That proactive people strategy helps make Mercy a Best-in-Class Employer.”
