American Kidney Fund Recognized as a Top Nonprofit Workplace in the United States
April 23 2024 - 9:40AM
The American Kidney Fund (AKF) is pleased to announce that it has
been selected as one of the top 50 nonprofit employers in the
United States by The NonProfit Times, a leading national business
publication for nonprofit managers, and the Best Companies Group,
which helps companies assess, enhance and promote company work
environments and cultures. This is the third year AKF has earned a
spot on this annual list, which identifies nonprofit organizations
that have gone above and beyond to create quality workplaces.
AKF received this distinction after it was evaluated for its
workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and
demographics, as well as through a voluntary, anonymous employee
survey that measures employees’ experiences.
“No kidney organization directly impacts more lives than AKF,
and our team is incredibly dedicated to helping the 37 million
Americans living with kidney disease” said LaVarne A. Burton, AKF
President and CEO. “We continuously strive to make AKF a great
place to work, and we are thrilled to once again receive this
recognition from The NonProfit Times.”
To support, develop and maintain a high-performing work
organization, AKF has a Quality of Work Environment program that
aims to develop and implement HR policies, systems, programs and
practices that will attract and retain the best workforce to
achieve the organization's mission: to fight kidney disease and
help people live healthier lives. The hallmarks of the AKF
workforce are excellence, diversity, inclusion, integrity and
commitment.
The survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize
and honor the best employers in the nonprofit industry, benefiting
the industry's economy, workforce and businesses. Nonprofits from
across the United States participated in a two-part survey process
to determine Best Nonprofits to Work For.
