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

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
