Family Friendly Workplaces is pleased to announce that Emplify Health has earned a gold-level certification as a Family Friendly Workplace, recognizing the organization’s strong commitment to employee well-being and life balance.

“At Emplify Health, we recognize that supporting a healthy life balance is critical to our employees’ well-being and long-term success,” said Scott Rathgaber, MD, CEO of Emplify Health. “This certification reinforces our commitment to fostering a workplace where our team can thrive both professionally and personally. When our employees feel supported, our entire
community is stronger.”

Emplify Health earned this certification following a comprehensive evaluation of its workplace policies, including flexible work options, parental leave, healthcare benefits, and family-centered support programs. As a certified employer, Emplify Health is now entitled to use the Family Friendly Workplaces logo in its talent attraction and retention efforts and gains access to
additional program benefits.

As a Certified Family Friendly Workplace, Emplify Health also makes an annual conduit contribution to a nonprofit organization that supports families. This year, they selected The Parenting Place in La Crosse and Encompass Early Education and Care in Green Bay.

To honor this achievement, Family Friendly Workplaces hosted simultaneous news conferences in La Crosse and Green Bay. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers attended the La Crosse event and delivered remarks recognizing Emplify Health’s leadership and commitment to families. A news conference, including Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich, was held in Green Bay to celebrate the certification.

In our conversations, Emplify Health was quick to recognize that supporting families not only strengthens their organization — it’s also simply the right thing to do,” said Neil Kline, Executive Director of Family Friendly Workplaces. “Emplify Health is the largest employer to be certified as a Family Friendly Workplace, and we are thrilled that they are leading the way for employers
across Wisconsin. With Emplify Health in the family, 71 employers across Wisconsin have been certified, covering over 24,000 employees and their families.

Wisconsin’s long-term workforce shortage threatens the state’s economic vibrancy in the years ahead. From now through 2050, Wisconsin’s workforce is expected to shrink before stagnating. This long-term human resources shortage requires a strategic response.

Emplify Health is the latest employer to join this effort to address our workforce shortage,” said Kline. “They were quick to recognize the importance of strategically engaging with this challenge, and of securing Wisconsin’s future economic vibrancy.
