March 10, 2026 - Encompass Health has been named one of Becker's Healthcare's “Top Places to Work in Healthcare” for 2026, earning national recognition for its purpose-driven culture, commitment to employee well-being and investment in professional growth.
Becker's highlighted Encompass Health for creating an environment where employees understand the impact of their work through a purpose centered on helping patients return to what matters most. That sense of purpose is reinforced through The Encompass Health Way, the Company's cultural framework built on setting the standard, leading with empathy, doing what's right, focusing on the positive and being stronger together.
“This recognition reflects the dedication of our people across the country who show up every day for our patients and for one another,” said Mark Tarr, president and CEO of Encompass Health. “We're committed to fostering an environment where every team member can build a meaningful career, feel supported and deliver outstanding rehabilitative care. Investing in our people is fundamental to the outcomes our patients and communities depend on.”
A workplace culture built on purpose and support
According to Becker's, Encompass Health stands out for giving employees a clear line of sight to how their roles contribute to patient recovery — an attribute that continues to shape its identity across more than 170 hospitals nationwide. The Company offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes multiple medical plan options, regularly benchmarked competitive compensation, a strong 401(k) match, paid time off, tuition reimbursement and free financial planning resources.
Employee well-being is a priority across the Company. Encompass Health provides employees and their families no cost access to therapy, mental health coaching and work life support services, underscoring its focus on mental and emotional health.
Strong focus on professional development and career mobility
Becker's also recognized Encompass Health's substantial investment in employee development. The Company supports internal mobility and long term career growth through structured career ladders, leadership development programs, mentoring opportunities and role based learning pathways. These efforts reinforce a culture where employees are encouraged to advance, learn and take on new responsibilities throughout their careers.
To strengthen engagement, Encompass Health uses robust listening strategies, employee recognition programs and flexible work options. Together, these efforts contribute to what Becker's describes as a consistently strong employee experience across the Company's national footprint.
