We are proud to announce that Hemophilia of Georgia (HoG), a nationally and internationally recognized nonprofit organization and a premier provider of programs and services for people with hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease, and other inherited bleeding disorders, has been awarded a 2022 Top Workplaces honor by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Top Workplaces celebrates organizations that have built outstanding cultures. Earning the trusted gold badge is a symbol indicating a company outperforms the competition in a crowded market. The Atlanta Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

Creating a Top Workplace is so much more than offering great benefits and vacation time, although that is important as well! It is also about creating great culture and organizational health. Employees want to align with the company’s vision and know they are valued.

“At Hemophilia of Georgia, we know our employees feel most inspired and empowered when their work has meaning and is purposeful, they are given opportunities to grow, know their voices are heard, and they feel appreciated. We are very proud of the culture we are creating that encourages employees to give their best to serving the bleeding disorder community, while building a better future for themselves and their families,” stated CEO Edith Rosato. “We are honored and grateful to receive a 2022 Atlanta Top Workplaces Honor by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We have a dedicated team of professionals who go above and beyond every day and make our organization truly remarkable.”

Hemophilia of Georgia (HoG) offers a generous benefits package and employees were beyond excited to learn about the organization’s new “Be Well” wellness program that offers 12 paid days off (once a month), in addition to their generous vacation time, federal holidays, and birthday off! The wellness days are extra time for employees to focus on their own personal health and well-being.

One employee, Erica Hunter, who has been with the organization for almost eight years, shared her feelings about the new wellness program. “When our CEO, Edith Rosato, announced the added paid 12 days off as part of the new wellness program, I was so excited! Edith really cares about all our employees and their families. She is so generous to us. The gift of time for ourselves to focus on our personal wellness is such an incredible gift. It makes us healthier, happier, and more productive employees, so we can better deliver on our mission. I am so grateful and blessed to work in such an amazing organization.”
