For the fifth time, Benco Dental has been recognized for its generous, caring and innovative culture reflecting a genuine commitment to meeting the diversity of people’s needs inside the workplace and beyond as rated by associates themselves.
PITTSTON, PA — SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 – Benco Dental once again made the short list among just 40 large companies for the 2023 Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care. This is the company’s fifth time being honored in total, and now for a second consecutive year. Previously, Benco Dental was ranked among the Best Workplaces In Health Care for 2022, Best Workplaces in Health Care & Biopharma™ for 2018, and among the Best Workplaces in Health Care in 2016 and 2017.
The Best Workplaces in Health Care award is based on analysis of survey responses from over 208,000 employees from Great Place To Work Certified companies in the health care industry. (To be eligible for the list, companies must first be Great Place to Work Certified.)
“We never take our commitment to being an exceptional workplace for granted. Having our results independently validated and recognized by Fortune and Great Place to Work ensures we’re always leading as a successful recruiter of top talent by providing a welcoming, engaging, challenging environment where our jobs have genuine meaning,” said Joanne Stitzer, Benco Dental’s Vice President, Customer and Associate Engagement. “I think this is best reflected by the numbers themselves: 87% of our associates say Benco is a great place to work, compared to just 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.”
As the only large, national, full-service dental technology distributor that’s family owned, Benco Dental leverages our independence to foster a culture informed by the needs of customers and associates, not quarterly results or Wall Street. The work is exciting, fun and always new because associates serve a customer base comprised of the industry’s most passionate early adopters, who invest nearly one in four dollars on products introduced in just the last three years.
