ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Texas Health Resources has once again been recognized for its exceptional commitment to gender equality and employee experience, securing the No. 41 spot on the prestigious 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™ list. This marks the ninth time the faith-based, nonprofit health system has earned this national accolade from Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine.
“We are honored to be recognized for our strong workplace culture,” stated Barclay Berdan, FACHE, CEO of Texas Health. “At Texas Health, we have created and continue to cultivate an environment where everyone feels respected, acknowledged, supported, valued and empowered to perform their best life’s work.”
Why Texas Health Excels for Women
The competitive Best Workplaces for Women list is determined by analyzing the confidential survey responses of nearly 605,000 women at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies across the U.S. Honorees, including Texas Health, were selected based on their ability to offer positive and equitable outcomes for women regardless of their job role, a commitment that aligns with the organization’s core philosophy.
As Carla Dawson, chief people officer at Texas Health, noted, the success is rooted in Our Texas Health Promise: Individuals Caring For Individuals, Together, which prioritizes being “mindful and considerate of people and their life experiences and beliefs.”
Key factors contributing to the health system’s high ranking include enhanced benefits and development programs:
- Expanded Parental Support: Paid parental leave was doubled to six weeks for new mothers and fathers, and adoption assistance was increased to $10,000.
- Career Growth: The system actively supports career growth through leadership development programs, mentoring, and tuition/fee reimbursement for approved degree plans.
- Comprehensive Wellness: Employees have access to robust wellness programs, a generous 401(k) program with company match, and paid time off that includes time for volunteer work.
A Consistent Leader in Healthcare Employment
This latest recognition solidifies Texas Health’s standing as a premier employer. Earlier this year, the organization was ranked No. 33 on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, the highest ranking among all recognized healthcare systems. Furthermore, Texas Health claimed the No. 1 position on the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care™ list for the 10th time.
Texas Health Resources is a leading provider in North Texas, serving a 16-county area and operating 29 hospital locations, employing nearly 29,000 individuals, and partnering with 6,400 physicians.
