Award spotlights the company’s recent growth and continued employee retention

Shields Health Solutions (Shields), the premier specialty pharmacy accelerator in the country, announced today that it is Great Place to Work-Certified™ for the fourth consecutive year. The recognition comes at a time of continued expansion in both employee count and Shields’ growing number of health system partners across the country.

“We are delighted to receive this recognition for our organization and culture,” said Annie Maloney, Chief People Officer at Shields Health Solutions. “Earning the Great Place to Work further validates our belief in our ‘Culture of Kindness,’ which is a guiding principle in everything we do – from how we collaborate as a company to delivering the highest quality of care to the patients we serve. We are particularly proud to receive this award amidst our continued growth – since our first certification in 2020, our team has grown significantly to include almost 2,200 employees nationwide.”

Certification is a noteworthy accomplishment as the company expands its footprint across the United States to more than 80 partners while maintaining a net promoter (NPS) score of 83. Leveraging validated employee feedback gathered with Great Place to Work’s rigorous, data-driven methodology, Certification confirms that 90 percent of employees agree that Shields is a Great Place To Work™ compared to the 57 percent at a typical U.S.-based company. Additionally, 92% of employees agree that Shields’ employee resource groups help create a supportive work community where all are welcomed and accepted.

“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Shields Health Solutions stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”

Shields has also received recognitions on the Fortunes Best Workplaces list for two years in a row. Most recently, the company received several Fortune Best Workplaces recognitions including Women, Millennials and top 10 on the Healthcare list.
