LHC Group earns national recognitions for company culture

LAFAYETTE, La., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LHC Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LHCG) has received two national recognitions for its company culture as part of the "4th Annual Comparably Awards." The Louisiana-based, in-home healthcare company ranked No. 7 on the list of "Best Companies for Women" and No. 27 on the "Best Culture" list for large companies (more than 500 employees).

"To be associated with some of the most iconic and well-known brands and companies in America is truly an honor," said Keith Myers, LHC Group chairman and CEO. "These awards belong to our LHC Group team members around the nation. Our company culture of family, support, and service at the local level is one of our most valuable assets, and something we have nurtured and encouraged since our founding. These recognitions reflect the success of our teams in fully embracing and demonstrating our core values ? at every level of our organization."

Comparably is a "leading workplace culture and compensation monitoring site." It provides a platform for employees to "anonymously rate their employers in 20 different workplace culture categories, providing the public a transparent and in-depth look at the experiences workers have based on their gender, ethnicity, age, department, experience, location, education, and company size."

The awards lists were based on anonymous surveys from employees who rated their employers from Dec. 1, 2019 ? Dec. 1, 2020. According to the announcement from Comparably:

The "Best Culture" rankings were determined by employee-answered questions covering core culture metrics, including compensation, perks and benefits, work-life balance, professional development, career opportunities, feelings about the culture, coworkers, leadership, and overall feelings of happiness, pride, and company outlook.

The "Best Companies for Women" list was determined based solely on ratings from female employees who were asked to report their workplace experiences within the same 20 core culture metrics analyzed for "Best Culture." The survey asked female employees their sentiment on topics including compensation, leadership, and professional development.
