High employee engagement is a key differentiator for virtual care company named on Inc.’s 2022 list of best US workplaces 

May 10, 2022 (Chicago) – First Stop Health (FSH), a leading virtual care company, has been named to Inc. Magazine’s annual list of Best Workplaces for 2022. According to Inc., FSH employees are highly engaged due to the value placed on people as the most important resource by senior leadership. 

“We are so proud to be ranked by Inc. as one of America’s best workplaces.,” said FSH President Teira Gunlock. “Our business has operated remotely since the COVID-19 pandemic started. We used this time to reinvent how we collaborated with and cared for one another. I know our employees will take pride in this achievement – they earned it. ” 

This new honor signifies 5-consecutive years that FSH is named on an Inc. list, including 2018 through 2021 as one of the fastest growing private companies on the Inc. 5000 list. The 2022 ranking for the Inc. 5000 list has not yet been announced. 

The Inc. Best Workplaces list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or virtual facility. After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 475 honorees in 2022. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture.
