DENVER, Nov. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita
HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA), one of the nation's largest
and most innovative health care communities, today announced that
it was one of four companies in North
America to receive Special Recognition in the 2014 Aon
Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders® study.
"Receiving third-party recognition from a respected company like
Aon Hewitt validates our work in
leadership and talent development," said Kent Thiry, co-chairman and CEO of DaVita
HealthCare Partners. "Building a strong community of teammates is
an important way to impact patient care, which is the foundation of
our commitment as a Village."
Conducted since 2001, the Aon Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders
study is a comprehensive, longitudinal analysis of talent
management and leadership practices of organizations around the
world. This year's winners were selected and ranked by an expert
panel of independent judges based on a number of criteria,
including strength of leadership practices and culture, examples of
leader development on a global scale, alignment of business and
leadership strategy, company reputation, and business and financial
performance.
In addition to the regional and Global Aon Hewitt Top Companies
for Leaders list, the 2014 judges panel in North America felt there were a small number
of companies that, given the strength of their leadership practices
today, deserved special recognition.
"In today's complex and unpredictable business landscape, Aon
Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders are passionate about cultivating
resilient and engaging leaders who take the time to know and
develop their talent and understand what experiences they need to
rise above the rest," said Pete
Sanborn, Global Talent practice leader. "We congratulate
DaVita HealthCare Partners on being among a select group of
organizations that excel at building and growing a strong
leadership environment."
Only 29 companies across North
America made the list. This marks the second time DaVita
HealthCare Partners has been recognized by Aon Hewitt. The company's unique workplace has
received a number of awards this year, including Harvard Business
Review's ranking the company's reputation as 37th
globally, WorldBlu's "Most Democratic Workplaces" and Becker's
Hospital Review's 150 Great Places to Work in Healthcare." See a
