Medline has been named to Forbes 2022 list of “America’s Best Employers for Women,” ranking 28^th out of 400 companies recognized for “leading the way when it comes to trying to support women inside and outside their workforces.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected women around the nation,” according to Forbes. “Many women have left the workforce due to childcare demands, stress, low pay and a lack of opportunities. In many cases, Covid has amplified the burden felt by women.”

Forbes compiled the list based on independent survey results of 50,000 employed U.S. adults, including 30,000 women, at companies with at least 1,000 employees. The survey and evaluations were conducted by Statista, Inc. based on general work topics, including willingness to recommend; “topics relevant for women,” including parental leave, discrimination, representation of women, and career and pay equity; peer review of other employers; and diversity among top executives.

“We’re honored to be represented on this influential list,” said Karen Ferraro, Medline chief human resources officer. “We recognize and appreciate the tremendous contributions of our teams during the pandemic, and have worked hard to meet the evolving and complex needs of our employees. Medline is a fast-growing, customer-focused company, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone thrives.”

Medline is a healthcare manufacturer, distributor and solutions partner, and the choice of 70% percent of U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll Hospitals.

The company is routinely named to best employer lists. Most recently, Medline was included on the Forbes America’s Best Large Employers for 2022 and Forbes Best Employers for New Grads 2022 lists. Medline also was named to LinkedIn’s 2021 Top Chicago Companies list and the Chicago Tribune’s 2021 Top Workplaces.
