Officials with the Cass County Health System (CCHS) say CCHS has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by The Des Moines Register. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics, says “The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits. But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health.” Denise Coder, Chief Human Resource Officer at CCHS, says “It’s a very meaningful award because it comes from within – the people who work here, across all departments, have responded in an overwhelmingly positive way that CCHS is a great place to work. We are very proud of this award, but we’re most proud of the people who work here and the extraordinary things they do every day for our patients.”
