Dear Colleagues:

Thank you for making the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) and the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) great places to work. Recently, UMB ranked No. 13 and UMMS ranked No. 69 in Forbes magazine’s America’s Best Large Employers 2021 survey. We are so pleased that UMB and UMMS are being recognized as among the best places to work in the country. This is a testament to the dedicated employees at all levels who bring commitment and passion to what they do. 

Nationwide, UMB ranked third highest among colleges and UMMS ranked 13th among hospitals and medical systems. Forbes and market research firm Statista surveyed 50,000 Americans who work for businesses with at least 1,000 employees and asked them to rate their willingness to recommend their employer to friends and family and to nominate organizations other than their own. The rankings reflect the 500 large (more than 5,000 employees) and 500 midsize (1,000 to 5,000) employers that received the most recommendations.

According to Forbes, the surveys were anonymous so participants could openly share their opinions. Statista asked respondents to rate, on a 0-to-10 scale, how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others. Statista also asked respondents to nominate organizations other than their own and to identify organizations they would not recommend to others.

The willingness to recommend UMB and UMMS to friends and family speaks volumes about our people and culture. Senior leadership remains committed to maintaining UMB’s and UMMS’ statuses among the best places to work and to attracting the best and brightest in their fields.

Thank you for all that you do.

Sincerely, 

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS
