Hartford HealthCare has been named the top employer in Connecticut for career development in a new national survey conducted by Careerminds, underscoring the organization’s commitment to helping employees build meaningful, long-term careers.

The survey asked more than 3,000 U.S. workers which company they would most want to join if career development and upskilling opportunities were the only criteria. Hartford HealthCare earned the top spot for Connecticut, ranking above other major employers for its dedication to professional growth and learning.

“Every career journey at Hartford HealthCare tells a story, of purpose, mentorship and possibility,” said Jeffrey A. Flaks, president and CEO, Hartford HealthCare.

“That’s why being named Connecticut’s Top Employer for Career Growth by Careerminds means so much.
