SALT LAKE CITY, UT, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Joyce University of Nursing and Health Sciences has been named a 2026 USA Today Top Workplaces award winner, marking the third consecutive year the university has received this national recognition.
The honor reflects Joyce University’s ongoing commitment to fostering a supportive, people-first culture as it continues to expand access to high-quality nursing education nationwide.
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized as a Top Workplace for the third consecutive year,” said Ann Johnson, Vice President of People and Culture at Joyce University. “This recognition is a reflection of our people and the culture we are building together. At Joyce, our team is at the center of everything we do, and we are intentional about creating an environment where they feel supported, valued, and connected to our mission of preparing the next generation of nurses. When our people thrive, our students thrive, and that impact extends into the communities they go on to serve.”
The award honors organizations with 150 or more employees that have created exceptional, people-first cultures. This year, more than 42,000 organizations were invited to participate. The winners are recognized for their commitment to fostering a workplace environment that values employee listening and engagement. USA TODAY showcased the winners online and at the National Awards Summit in Las Vegas.
The winners are determined by authentic employee feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance.
“Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture," said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. "This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition — it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market.”
